I am looking for magazines for a Lee-Enfield No. 4 MK 2. Anybody know a source?
Correct me if I'm wrong on this one but wouldn't a no4 mk1 magazine fit this rifle as well? Spares are hard to come by for any of the enfield rifles. Took me forever to find a spare no1 mk3 magazine that was just lying in one guy's junk pile at a garage sale. From what I've seen some can be in the $30-$40 range and others could be higher, depending on the seller. Was yours missing the mag or do you want an extra?
I am looking for a spare magazine. From what little I know, I think a No 4 Mk 1 magazine would work, but would not mind an expert opinion on that.
Theres only one type of magazine for a No4 rifle. They're all the same and fully interchangeable but have to be fitted correctly. The rifle only came with one magazine.
What sort of fitting is required?
Accurate hand fitting. There are loads of articles about how to accurately hand fit a new magazine to a rifle. We used to keep all the old worn magazines, get about 20-25 together and have a purge by fitting replacement back straps. Good to go for another 20 years providing that the lips were sound............
Usually plenty on e-ba...
My question is: does the Indian .308 mag fit a normal No. 4 action? And are they available somewhere?
I tried this in four rifles. It seemed to fit fine in two of them and would probably fit the other two with a bit of filing on the rib.Quote:
