No4 Magazine Won't Feed

**krinko** · 09-10-2009 10:29 PM

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.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

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

Are you guys going to tell him it's for 7.62 or is this some kind of inside joke between the three of you???

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

**SpikeDD** · 09-11-2009 09:01 AM

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!

Hi krinko, You are a lucky guy, i`ve got two of them. A third one is o.k. . Out from the other ones, the tip of the bullet run`s left of the chamber.:-((

Regards

Gunner

Dang, same thing happened to me! Just bought one of them thar fancy numberated magazines and not only will it not take 303's but the left hand rear feed lip got a bent over piece pokin' up! Phooey!

**browningautorifle** · 09-11-2009 02:47 PM

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...
