Ishapore Enfield's vs British & Australian???

[Son]

I have a couple of Ishapore 2A rifles that both exibit the same malfunction. The top round (right side of mag) feeds fine, but the second rests just below the bolt, causing the closure to fail to feed. I wonder if this is common? Can anyone here recommend a procedure to fix this?

As long as the magazine is catching in place and locking properly... The magazine feed lips are not allowing the left side round to sit high enough to feed. Try to bend the rear lip (the one holding the round down) up just a very little bit at a time until it feeds. Take care not to go too far as this will cause double feeds. You may also need to alter the front lip, but only if the nose of the round is catching the feed ramp at the rear of the barrel on it's way out.
