    Synthetic Magazines

    I went and put a black synthetic stock on my sporterized no4 mk1, so my metal magazine looks a little out of place. Does anyone know of any black synthetic 10 rd mags? I saw some metal 30 rd mags for a Bren, but even if it did fit, damn that's a lotta weight lmao

    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. Brian Dick ...

    I’ve never seen a plastic Enfield magazine. Is there such a thing?

    ProMag makes new steel Enfield magazines. I have one on my nickel plated sporter. It’s a bit flimsy. But for $25 it does the job.

    You could coat exposed parts of a metal magazine in black plasti-dip, but it wouldn't be the most durable finish, but it would be easily reversible.

    I think it would be less than $10 and if you can run a rattle can of spray paint you can plasti-dip.

    It was a huge trend in the performance car world a few years ago, people were doing wheels, emblems etc etc.

    Basically it is a liquid rubber/soft plastic coating that is reasonably durable, but non-permanent. If it gets ratty, or you don't like the result you can easily remove it. Look up youtube or google it to see what I mean.

    It comes in aerosol and brush-on, and in a variety of colors.

    Normally I won't think to use it in a firearms application unless I was looking to protect a plastic stock or something like that, but in the case of matching a plastic stock, it might be a good fit. If nothing else it would be a cheap thing if you didn't like the result.
