The rifles were used as single shots. If a Sterling or L42 magazine has been installed, this is most likely something done recently. While a 7.62 magazine might make the rifle more appealing to a contemporary shooter, it has little to do with the original intended use of these rifles.
 
My DCRA (#221) 7.62 conversion ejects just fine from the action. No special modifications and using a stock .303 extractor. Sterling Mag feeds reliably. No mod on the receiver or magazine for ejection. It is a smooth operating repeater.

Sounds like you have a 7.62 extractor installed, they've been out for years and look very similar when on the bolt head.

Updated #307, thx.
 
I have 7.62 extractors on all my number fours. We bought magazines and extractors from sterling when they closed down.
