Cartridge carbines of the British Army (British firearms)

This book traces Britain's use of breechloading cartridge carbines from the development of the first Snider artillery and cavalry carbines, to the various Martini carbines (Henry, Metford and Enfield), to the Lee-Metford and Lee-Enfield Carbines introduced in the late 1800s. The book concludes with a chapter on the commonly-known Jungle Carbine, the Number 5 Mark 1, as well as a chapter on the specifications for all the carbines covered in the time period.
