The Dawson & Buckham automatic rifle was a self-loading rifle that was designed by Arthur Dawson and George Buckham.
Overview[]
The Dawson & Buckham rifle was designed in 1918. It was a gas-operated conversion of the Lee-Enfield rifle, with a gas piston fitted to the bolt. The stock was fitted with a pistol grip. The feed was unchanged from the SMLE, using a detachable 10-round magazine. It is not known whether a physical example of the Dawson & Buckham conversion was ever actually produced, or whether it was entirely conceptual.
