Wow Lurker...Muttly LIKE the 2 SMLE's idea. I bet archy's already done it, too !

The British did not issue a second spare 10-shot magazine for their troops' Enfields, preferring to top things up with 5-shot charger *stripper clips.* But I have a second 10-round magazine both for my Savage #4 and my L42A1 7,62 Enfield, as my kid does for his SMLE. The .303 Mark VIII ball cartridge isn't the preferred load for that sport [try a handload using the Sierra .311 dia. 174 gr. HP boattail MatchKing] and see what happens. I don't have access to a 1000-meter range right now, but I can sure practice at 600 on a halfsize target....

I bought a second 2A mag for my Ishapore. It doesn't fit. Where did you get yours?

I'd really like a spare, JIC you know?

I'm loathe to think that Mr. Cooper missed something, but I'll bet the right guy with a couple of SMLEs could pull off his challenge.

Nice collection BTW.

Like I said, I shoulda bought a dozen of 'em.

Regards,

L
