    The Charlton Automatic Rifle is a 1941 conversion that transformed bolt-action Lee-Enfield and Lee-Metford rifles into select fire guns with semi- and full-auto capability. Named after its New Zealand designer, it was showcased to the military and subsequently used by the New Zealand Home Guard.
