    I read it as 'the rifle was supplied with a No1 magazine which worked OK, but, he bought a No4 magazine and it is this one that 'flops about'.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Correct.

    I am just trying to fit the appropriate magazine to the rifle, where it will remain fixed per design.

    Apologies to all if I was unclear in my initial problem statement.

    Yes, you're right. My misunderstanding, so that one doesn't work...try again. They don't all work right.
