What do I really have here?

So is this a CLLE Mag, I think it is and still set up for MkVI ammo.

stamped "2" on the back and the front top lip.. Couldn't figure out why it would not hold MkVII ammo? Note the square top left edge... The dent is not as BIG as it looks in the photo.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Weren't really intended to hold ammo out of the rifle. Now if no joy whilst installed, usually a little tweaking of the feed lips gets everything running again. My earlier "chained" mag works OK w/ spitzer bullets. (They're easier to get!)

My no.2 mag holds both MkVI and MKVII without problems.

As jmoore said, they weren't designed to be carted about loaded off the rifle like an AR mag. If dropped or handled roughly some of the rounds will fall out.

Thanks, The lip on the right of your photo compared to mine is a bit larger than the one I have.
