Hi guys new guy here this is my first post so go easy on me lol
I Have a no4 mk1 that is pretty much all matching numbers apart from the Mag my issue is id like to get a new Mag for it. I'm after an original unissued one the thing is I've been all over the net and can't find one anywhere
are they really that hard to come by? and does anyone know a shop or dealer in the uk that holds stock?. Ive seen some new newly made ones kicking about are they any good?. (really want an original one tho).

cheers Alun

Just as an aside magazines were not numbered to the rifle in service.

My mag does have a serial number on the bottom it looks to have been stamped and it from a later rifle has the date of 49 on it. i assumed that they where all numbered to the action.
