    magazines help, please

    I recently purchased two Colt series 70 pistols; I guess I should have paid more attention to details. I found the mags were unmarked, looked kinda cheap. Are the correct mags supposed to be Colt marked, with the pony, so forth? Also, the trigger on the MKIV govt model is stainless. I have a hunch somebody swapped the trigger and mags before I got ahold of them. Can somebody set me straight on what should be the proper parts?
    TIA for the help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Yes. The good ones have an "M" on the bottom also. It stands for Metalform and is a contractor for Colt OEM magazines.

    The trigger sounds like a swap it wouldn't be hard to find an original. try Gun Parts Corp.
