Looking for magazines for Lee-Enfield No. 4 MK 2

[villiers]

Usually plenty on e-ba...

My question is: does the Indian .308 mag fit a normal No. 4 action? And are they available somewhere?

does the Indian .308 mag fit a normal No. 4 action?

I tried this in four rifles. It seemed to fit fine in two of them and would probably fit the other two with a bit of filing on the rib.

Yes, they do.

The surest way to have a magazine "go bad" with any sort of L-E is to treat as detatchable!

If it's working leave it be. As noted above the bodies are quite soft and can be bent just by inserting them into the rifle a bit caddywumpus or too vigorously.

The important thing is that they will sometimes work in L42a1s...Well, no, that's not important. But I did it once upon a time with some success.
