If you are using a Sterling or modified Indian 2A magazine, the feed lips are within the same location as the .303 magazine, and will not require any changes.

What other magazines has anyone fitted to 7.62 Enfields? | Army Rumour Service


Thanks Lee Enfield,

I’m using an Enfield 7.62 mag and I’ve heard/read the feed lips could get bent if the relief cuts aren’t made.
I have the receiver off the barrel and a machinist buddy willing to do it so I’m going to take the extra precaution since the mag was NOT cheap!!
