    Look at the estimates - not much for the whole rifle+magazine
    Ask one of the forummers who is a Registered Firearms Dealer to bid for you, and sell you the magazine?
    Don't forget to add 30% commission to the purchase price, plus shipping and the cost of getting rid of the rifles as they are not worth a lot now and will be worthless once stripped of the magazines.

    Even with their magazines they only fetch £20 + 25% commission at the Newark Auctions
    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...

    Unfortunately no. I have contacted a couple advertised leads in the UKicon, and as soon as they see I am in the US, they no longer return any e-mails.

    Are mags now banned from export from the UK?

    I do have a lead on one or two now on this side of the world.
