Sure it would work in a double stack mag with just a few mods, and needing to fill your clips the right way is simply an excuse for poor engineering.
If you mean rimmed ammo, then the MN is up the same creek isn't it?
If you've got a design for an interrupter that would work on a removable double stack mag, let's see it.

Had several noisey maggots. Gave Away the Finn, the russian, and the chinese carbine to a friend. Only kept the Westinghouse and the 7.62x39 chinese single shot carbine.
I have NOT gotten rid of any Lee enfields except fot one No1 Mk6 sold to a friend but only because I had two of them.
I am amazed at all the bad mouthing of a rifle that served Canada in two world wars and one so -called "police action"

they will both kill a person dead, thats what they were built for. both are nice also for big game.
I have, my own 91/30 sometimes will fail to feed, it seems that the interruptor likes to do it's job a little <too> well and the next cartridge in the mag fails to come up into position.
Happens once every 5-10 mags, usually after crossing rims which leads to having to either slap the bolt home hoping that it will unjam things by brute force, or pushing on the front of the offending cartridge (when slapping her around fails) so it's rims lifts up above the cartidge below it .... For some reason when that happens the next cartridge fails to move up as it should. It may be just a weak 70+ year old mag spring though.

hmm, with dummy rounds, or next time your at the range try this:
Put a round into the magazine as if you were just putting one in, and make sure it is seated correctly (it should by itself). Then oush down on the round, it should make an audible click and the round should seem to 'stick' further down in the mag, as if there is another round ontop of it, even though there isnt. This is the cartridge interrupter doing its work, now push the cartridge interrupter with your finger, the round should snap up. If it dosnt this sounds like a broken/weak inturrupter, and needs to be fixed.
The rifle feeds rounds when the bolt is fully closed in the 'lock' position, and then brought up and back all the way to the end, which will trigger the cartridge interrupter. If you don't bring the bolt back all the way, or are too weak with the bolt, it wont trigger the inturrupter, and the round will not feed.
Try this with your finger and see if it works, I hope I made sense, im having trouble describing it
There are lots of 20 and 30 somethings around who don't know who Hitler or Churchill was, or who was on what side in WWII. I kid you not.
Not surprising that their first milsurp becomes the one they love and believe in! Like the guys that marry their first girlfriend as someone else said.
Not only did the No4 serve Canada well, but they were built here, probably better than they were anywhere else.
Of course, some people just like to be contrary, and some people have trouble choosing a TV, let along a battle rifle.
