    Except for the magazine looking like it's been used on three other rifles.

    Didn't notice that. They shouldn't be numbered to the rifles anyway...really. But that's OK too... I was looking at the major players of the rifle.

    Yeah, the Enfield I've run across seem to have magazines serialized to match the rifle. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me; We swapped mags all the time when I was in. Then again these girls can be finicky when it comes to mags. Maybe one of the Enfield SMLE experts can shed some light on the subject to serialized magazines.
