I see you didn't mention the Winchester-Lee navy .236 (6mm) straight-pull rifle. While these are refered to as Mod. 1895..they were used in the seige of the international legations in peking during the Boxer rebellion.
This was the std. Navy & Marine arm until the 1903 was adopted. (Smallest U.S. military caliber until the M16).
