The Pattern 1913 Enfield was an experimental rifle developed by the Royal Small Arms Factory for the British Army as a result of its combat experience in the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902. The weapon was to serve as a replacement for the Short Magazine Lee–Enfield. However, implementation of the Pattern 13 was rendered impractical by the outbreak of the First World War.
