Yes, but no one is going to make dies for a run of 100. Our mag manufacturer min is 5000 to amortize the dies.
BTW didn't IMA do a run of these mags a while back?

10,000 of the 20 rounders were made, They never got used and were sold off to a company that was going to produce a LMG. However that never happened. So, like the Pedersen device for the 03 Springfield, most were scrapped.
i have a m1 grand semi auto with a 20 nround clip and it is so quiet, but its pinned at 5 rounds plus one in the chamber
I'll bet you do.
Maybe he has one of these
oh you guys can be so rude sometimes
Airborn to the rescue...
That is, without a doubt, a modified FAL mag
.....back in yer airplane......
A 20 round mag hanging from the bottom of a Lee Enfield would be unweildly.
Instead of giving poor old Mantis such a hard time, remember the BM59 and the kits put out by the CMP as well as International and Golden State Arms to convert the Garand to mag feed. They were available in 30-06 and 7.62x51.

Enfield larger mag.,
I seem to remember reading (a year or so ago) that the larger mag was dropped because the mag. sticking out the bottom so far would hit the trench edge, holding the rifle too high to shoot. Ditto shooting from prone position.
This was in 1916 or thereabouts & the extended mag. looks like the normal SMLE mag but about 3" longer. I did copy the picture accompanying the article I read but haven't bothered to learn how to post photo's. yet.
