The '''SR-9''', officially known as the '''Standard Rifle Mk. 9''' is a bolt action rifle firing cartridges from a 5-round internal clip-loaded magazine. It was the primary infantry weapon of the Royal Army until its replacement by the SR-9C, a shorter weapon using the same basic design. The SR-9 action, using a stripper clip loaded with the .324 Royal cartridge, successfully combined and improved several bolt action engineering concepts which were soon adopted by many other countries. Although it was replaced in 1929, the large reserve of SR-9 lead its adoption as a sniper rifle for the Royal Army until the end of the Great War. Early production versions are highly sought after by collectors and hunting variants are commercially available and remain popular. | The '''SR-9''', officially known as the '''Standard Rifle Mk. 9''' is a bolt action rifle firing cartridges from a 5-round internal clip-loaded magazine.
