Enfield 5 round mag?

[mike.j]

Can anyone point me in the right direction, for the following answers:

1. Which model was is used in?

2. Anyone have a photo of the follower & spring? ( I think the one that came with it in the box of junk is not the correct one, its aluminium I think, not tin)

3. All help greatly received.

Cheers & Thanks


Mike

Parker Hale and other manufactures who sold No1 and No4 sporting rifles used 5 shot mags on some of their models. You see cut down 10 shot and manufactured 5 shot. All had a steel spring and stamped metal platform. It was identical to the military spring and platform.

About the only original shorter magazines are those used on carbines over a century ago.
There were also some sporting rifles which used shorter magazines.

EAL rifles also had a 5 round magazine with them.

Flat bottom or "fish belly"?

IIRC, the EALs are cutdowns.
