    Unhappy SMLE N0.1 MKIII* 10 round magazine

    Hi All and happy new year.
    I am looking for a 10 round magazine as above. Someone helped himself to mine at the last shoot and only found out that is was missing when got home.
    Where could I get hold of one or two in Australiaicon, please?
    This is my pride and joy and I'm a bit distressed that someone could do that, as I never take the magazine out.
    Thank you in advance and regards
    bosco

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Just about any gunshop worthy of the name should have a few. Mostly Lithgowicon jobs, but, if you want some obscure Britishicon-marked one you could be in for a wait.

    They may not always be in top condition, especially if they have been previously "adjusted" to work with some of the .303 wildcats.

    Try "Kingaroy Firearms" in, obviously, Kingaroy, Queensland, if you have no luck locally. Alan really knows his stuff.

    Hi Bruce,
    thank you for the info, tried a couple of gunshops here in Perth, but yeah right!!! All I got was a puzzled look! Anyway, will try your suggestion. Condition doesn't really matter too much as I had sand-blasted the old one and cerakoted it....it looked pristine!! As long as it works..
    thanks again

    As you are in Perth give Geoff a call in Barrys Firearms and mention Milsurps and I am sure he will find you one.
