    There seems to be various ways of "blocking off the magazine" - I've had several Enfield 410's which have varied from " a wooden plug" in place of the magazine, a plate fitted underneath the trigger guard to 'blank off' the magazine well (this was loose and fell out when the trigger guard was removed), a welded in plate and, finally my current one has the magazine 'pinned' so the follower can only move a couple of mm and the magazine welded to the trigger guard.

    I think that the ways of complying with the shotgun requirements have changed over the years but these days (to be 'safe') go for the welded up option.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
