The magazine is not 'welded' into the rifle - it removes in the normal way.
The 5 shot BSA magazine is rivetted into a holder / plate which in turn is rivetted into the 'outer' magazine shell.
The 5 shot magazine does not come out of the 'outer' shell.

The bolt and action numbers match but the magazine is not matching to the rifle.
The magazine number is BS2140 - has anyone got this rifle ?

I just wasnt pulling hard enough - its now quite 'free & easy'.

Looking closer I dont think the rivets are in fact rivets but are spot-welds
