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!! :(

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
