    No4 Magazine Won't Feed

    No matter what type .303 I try, this damned magazine won't feed. It's got me bollixed and I may just chuck the whole mess into the landfill.

    yes

    You need to toss it my way; I'll trade you even for one that'll feed!

    BTW, nice 1942 Mk1.

    Won't feed? Won't even take 303 ammo! I have a waste receptacle right next to my desk you can chuck it into. Send it to me and I will see that it gets done

    I think Krinko knows exactly what magazine he has What intrigues me is his use of the word "bollixed," a somewhat old fashioned english word that seems out of place

    Seems appropriate to use a word that's as out of place as a .303 would be in that magazine. Nice find.... wise ***

    I've got one of those here that's brand new in the wrapper. The only one I've ever seen in the wrap. Anybody want it? I don't have the heart to unwrap it!

    At least you guys have those, when I got the rifle in about 1975 the mags were unavailable. It was mint and shot tiny little groups. No mag? OK, I got rid of it. Now they seem to grow on trees. Oh well...
