    I think it is relatively easy to modify mag capacity, but jumping the legal hoops complicates things...like it always does. A wodden or metal spacer is the easy way, which is legal in shotguns, but I think the rules are a bit more stringent with high-capacity mags. It may very well depend on the attitude of the game warden you happen to bump into that day. Canadaicon allows mags to be modified with a pop-rivet. Only drilling a small hole thru the housing and snapping-in a rivet is about as easy as it gets, save just dropping in a spacer. Good Luck!

    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 ...

    Promag makes a 5 rounder. No idea if they're reliable. Cheaper than Dirt wants $17.97 for one. Only downside is they can be somewhat difficult to grab onto when in the rifle.
    If you go with the blocking, make sure MI's MNR allows it. A rivet in the back below the lugs works.
    "...They would not fit..." Universal stuff was like that. More their later stuff though. A polymer mag is very late. Most Universals came with regular steel mags.
    Make sure the S&B ammo is accurate enough out of that Carbine. Used Speer 110 grain HP's with IMR4227 for eons before the Carbine was declared evil up here. Makes a hole the size of a grapefruit in a ground hog. Wouldn't think twice about using it for our big deer.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    A word of caution: Many years ago I purchased a nice looking carbine. Quickly found it shot high. Brazed an extension on the front site. Things appeared great until I noticed that it was really load sensitive. Careful looking at it revealed through the now worn parkerizing, that the receiver was a "re-weld" and the barrel had the remains of a pin welded up. My suspicion is that it was a blank firing movie prop. Immediately it was disassembled and the parts used to make up one with a new commercial barrel and a salvage receiver. Note: this gun is stamped to prevent anyone selling it as an original.
