    Years ago, when I carried my carbine as a LEO trunk weapon, I tried a "jungle clip" to keep two 30s together, in the weapon, in the trunk. JUNK! I reverted back to black duct tape. (two 30s and two 15s in a pouch on the stock was 90 rounds handy when I grabbed the weapon out of the trunk).

    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.

    That's a lot of weight on those tabs. Especially when it gets rockin and rollin.

    True, but I was in a rural mountain area where I was sometimes my only backup for as much as 20-60 minutes! It made the weapon overly heavy, so I later switched to a single 30 and a 1956 Universal pouch or GI 30 round pouch on a shoulder strap with mags in it for back up ammo.

    Better choice.
    One in the carbine four in the pouch, two on the butt. Now you had 180 rounds with better handling of your carbine.

    Yep, gave me a warm fuzzy feeling! I could lay down a lot of suppression fire waiting for back up! More than once, a suspect ceased and desisted when they looked down the barrel of my carbine on a felony stop, etc. It just looks so MEAN with the 30 and a "stock pouch"!!!!!

    My first carbine a rebuilt 4.59 Rock-Ola bought in 1972 for $ 90.00 OTD. It came with one 15 and two 30 mags full. The 30 round mags were tack welded together. I will post pictures when I can.
    It must have been a DCM because there was grease all in the gas piston. I believe it was never fired since it was bought.
    First thing I did was sand the stock and remove all signs of the Inland ordnance stamp. Then five coats of Tru-Oil. It is still like that.
    Dumb is as dumb does.

    He edited it out right after the lesson. since he entered it, he had access to remove it. He wasn't that stupid...even if he was a liberal!
