The Navy and Marines switched to Krags about 1902 IIRC, and then, to M1903s about 1910.
I saw a Winchester Lee at a gun show about six years ago. I might have "bitten" if Dick or one of the other "experts" would have lived nearby!!

When I was at the USMC Museum at Quantico last February, I was wondering how I could sneak theirs out of the display and walk out without being noticed... LOL!Originally Posted by JBinIll
Here's probably as close as I'll ever get to owning one
JBinIll - did you notice that your guy in the picture looks an awful lot like Sam Elliott? Haahaa

Here's a good photo of Marines with the WLN rifles and the accouterments, the ammo belt and bayonet, that go with the rifle. Disregard the Remington Lee name in the photo, my mistake as I just got a Remington Lee rifle and got mixed up on names.
Here's the rifle I have, it's complete with a very scarce original sling and also the ammo belt with suspenders. Ray
