    trying to find a mag for a SMLE No.1 MK III

    Hello again, recently the forum helped my indentify my SMLE No.1 MK III, and ive taken into the shop to be refinished. I had two mags going into the shop, one fit like a glove and one fit but needed pliers to be removed, which i found odd because as far as i could tell besides finish these mags were identical. well long story short, they were not the proper mags for the weapon, and i now have to purchase a newer style mag for the weapon. while this isnt a real problem, i certainly would much rather have an older style one and have it refurbished as well. i have two of the other types. one new and one fairly used. was wondering if anyone knows where i could find one in canada, and or be willing to sell or trade for one. I am a current serving member in the canadian forces and i was a member of the 1 RCR battle group in 2010, maybe there's an old Royal out there that can help a brother out. anyways thanks again, i have enjoyed this forum emmencly and have found the people and feed back to be great. Thanks again.

    I'm actually an old Patricia, but that's no difference...you'll probably get a PM shortly and you can likely find a good condition original mag in your future. You can also enter the WTB area and place an ad...
    Regards, Jim
