Lee Enfield mags

They are all enfield mags.
The ones with the longer spine go into the No1 enfields and the shorter spine go with the No4
The short mags I think go into the Calvary enfeilds but that is not my field of enfield interest
That squared off mag might be for the AIA or at least a 308 chambered enfield

The short flat bottomed one is probably a commercial conversion of a 10 shot magazine.
The two short ones together are probably post -'45 commercial sporters.
The third short one might be from an early sporter or carbine.
Issue 10 rounders are going for $50 up.
The commercial 5 shot magazines might bring that.
Not sure about the other short one because I am not sure what it is.

The two short ones are after market commercial sporter units. The other short one with the rounded bottom by the look of it is probably a Santa Fe brand aftermarket one. B-noser is right. The fourth short one with the flat bottom is a home made cut down smle ten rounder, not a factory cav carbine one.
Price? Good ball park values have been given. But I just had to check this posting in case one of them was an eight round single stack mag for a Lee Metford. Anybody?? huh? huh?

In your opinion are these original mags or reproduction mags?
I have heard conflicting reports about the quality of these Tradex units.. Some call them repro.
We need to hear from somebody who has actually fitted one and is using it.

I got one from a friend cheap , mostly because it didn't feed . It took about half an hour of tweaking the front feed tabs to get it to feed properly . An example of one isn't enough to condemn them all , I know , but I'll stick with the issue mags .

Mine are tight fitting; however, I have yet to take them to the range or try feeding rounds through them.
The splines on both are marked with a letter "F" with broad arrows, which leads me to think that they are original but, that's only my opinion.
I'm interested on what others have to say about these magazines and whether or not they are considered reproductions.

Well, I think that I have my answer now: they appear to be repros.

They seem well made and look correct at least. TradeEx price seems better as well, just wish that they would have mentioned their origins.

I bought one. Yes, repro, but it fits and feeds perfectly with no adjustment needed.
