    In that case, I would soldier on with the 20 round mags, as it is clear noone understands where the law should be on this, and you are afterall within the confines of ranges categorized for the use of the rifle!

    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 ...

    Best practices

    It would be wise to "archive" his 20's as they are still legal, as he says, just not for use in the rifle, and make up a couple of "10's", from either MORE plentiful FAL mags (as is the case in the US) or some of the plastic aftermarket types where there is no real collector value. We can all hope for sunnier days when it comes to our countries firearms laws. The march always seems towards more RESTRICTIONS, not less.

    That is a beautiful L1A1. I love seeing them with the original receivers as those are few and far between in the US. There is always something just a bit less satisfying having to go with one that was cobbled back together onto an aftermarket receiver and rebuilt by questionable methods or builders. Don't get me wrong, we have some beautiful builds by competent folks, but it is always best case scenario to own a piece that is whole and complete as yours is. Thank you for sharing.

    Can you get something like this?

    Looks like they cut down an FAL Metric and flared out tabs to take the L1A1 base plate...

    Looks like the ones we had to accompany the grenade launcher.
