    There're crap!
    I used an L39A1 for service rifle competitions a few years back (with a No.4 rear sight) and assumed I could load fairly quickly with the adapter in the charger bridge.
    Nothing could have been further from the truth, I ended up buying another couple of magazines and kept them charged in a 58 Pat ammo pouch for competitions.

    From memory David they were £35 & £40, I thought I was being ripped off even then!

    A now departed friend remembers buying 5 new No.4 magazines from Ma Parkers nephew after he took over the business for £25.
