    It would appear from the photos that someone has cut the bottom out of the magazine so that the magazine that was stripped out to catch the empty rounds now just lets them fall straight through!!
    If this rifle had been fitted with its Parker Hiscock magazine the price would have made a little more sense, see Skennertonicon "The Lee Enfield" page 484 .22 Short Rifle MkIII Magazine capacity 5 rounds Parker Hiscock. So this is a rare rifle that is incomplete and over priced in my humble opinion, but then as has already been said someone might decide it's a real bargin

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I once tried to sneek a new acquisition in under the radar....................and got burned real bad, once the guys stopped laughing at me where I shoot they gave me the nik Cinders after being flamed by my other half so just to ensure my demise from grace completely I went out a couple of years later and brought a Sniper T, I now know what it is like to be a penguin in Antartica...................sometimes the ones we married do not understand the other love one has in life!

    Reply to Col E I thought I was the most sneaky pelican and had actually got the rifle in and secreted but alas the debits did not match the credits curses Moriarty foiled again..........

    Did you make the rookie mistake of thinking the Minister for War & Finance wouldn't notice the arrival of an envelope with O.H.M.S. on it and the words "This Permit Authorises..." visible through the address window?
