New member saying hello, and some questions...

[Rusty_Old_F250]

Here's the mag as original,
Attachment 89615

After some material was added on each side
Attachment 89616
Attachment 89617

Used a couple files to form it
Attachment 89618

The finished feed rails
Attachment 89619

Some further experimenting yielded this, to help seat the mag flush into the receiver.
Attachment 89620

Seems to work pretty well

Sam--

One of the problems with the Pattern 1914 is the lack of compatible of parts especially the magazine case as the Brits called it or magazine well as the US called it. Check to make sure their is an "R" stamped on the back or front of the magazine case. That identifies one of Remington manufacture, next to see if a "2" is stamped on the top of the magazine case, if no number its and early one. The Eddystone magazine case will fit as well. Make sure it has the "2" on top. That should take care of your problem. Do not use a Winchester as they are totally different and will not fit at all.

Thanks, unfortunately, the unmodified mag box is marked E 2, but it doesn't solve my troubles.
