Hello, I've just acquired five very tidy .303 Bren mags & wondered if anyone could help with deciphering the various stamped markings present on them?
Four of them are close to being identical, with the following marks in evidence:
Attachment 27309Attachment 27310Attachment 27311
The fifth has a different set of stamps, as follows:
Attachment 27312Attachment 27313Attachment 27314Attachment 27315
Would I be correct in assuming that the '42' & '54' marks are dates & the 'MA' & 'FTR' are manufacturer's codes?
Also, is it possible to remove the top plate from a mag without any specialist tools, as one of mine is not seated properly?
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can offer,
