Hello

I am new to Milsurps and hopefully am posting in the correct forum.

I just got my very first Enfield, No.4 mk1 and I'm having trouble with the mag. It's not original to the gun, and has no serial numbers of any kind. Looks relatively cheap to me, but it's all I have for her. I can't get the thing to seat properly into the receiver. It won't go in far enough to catch on the mag release and as a result it will not feed properly, ever. From the wear marks on the back of the wedge caused by the mag release, it's doubtful that it has ever latched in that gun. I can pretty much guarantee nobody was able to fire the gun with this mag in it, must have thrown it in to make the sale.

When looking at the mag from the rear, the top edges are not level with each other, possibly one side too tall?

Does anyone know if I can fix this POS, or where I can get a real mag? The gun itself is great, numbers matching... just came with this weird magazine.
