    5 Round Mag.

    HI,
    Anybody know how to convert a 15rd Carbine Mag. into a 5 rd. for hunting without damaging the 15rd Mag. All my Mags. are USGI and hate to mess one up.
    I know you can buy 5rd Mags but don't have time to order one for this year. My Grandson asked if I had a rifle that he could use. You know kids wait until the last few days before deer season opens.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dick

    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 ...

    You cannot miss with USGI mags!
    You can cut a piece of wood to fit the spring loose. trial and error.
    I know you mentioned not ordering, but look at this device
    M1 Carbine - Magblocks - Products
    the 30/10 can be cut and ground on a grinder fairly quickly as it is plastic.
    could also give you an idea for a wood block

    5 Rd CARBINE MAG

    Frank,

    I received the clips last night in the mail when I got home.
    The 5 Rd and I didn’t expect a 10 Rd also, both were in new condition
    They are very nice, and I am very happy with them. I had told my 12 year old grandson that the next time he could use a 1943 M1 Carbine when he went dear hunting and that the rifle was a piece of history of the USAicon and it could have been used in WW2. His eyes lit up and he said really. My remark to him was remember that many guy’s gave there life so he could enjoy his life today as a free American.

    I really appreciate that you went out of your way to get me these clips. Guys like you are the reason that the Military Surplus Collectors Forums are the quality and the best Forums around. Every body is so helpful and willing to make it what it is today.
    Thank You for your Generosity.
    Dick

    After the Sandy Hook bogus incident, when everyone was freaking out, these 5 rds were fetching $95 on Ebay.

    In 1989 GI 15 round mags were between $1.00-$2.00 at the time. Depending if you bought the whole 100 magazine case ($1.00 each) or loose ($2.00 each). I bought a few of the 5 round mags for 75¢. Never a big hit with carbine owners.

    Jim, If you still have them I will gladly take them off your hands. Just let me know how much and I will send you a Money Order that Day.
