The Lee Rifle Prototype
In 1878, James Paris Lee (1832–1904) and his brother John perfected a rifle with a box magazine in Wallacebur. This rifle later became an antecedent to the famous Lee–Enfield rifle. A well trained gunman could fire approximately 15-30 shots a minute. The prototype was tested successfully in Wallaceburg and is currently housed at the Wallaceburg and District Museum. Wikipedia
