Gun and gear reviews Lee Enfield 303 Pro mag ?
I am building a bubba'd jungle carabine a bit like the picture and i was wondering if anybody has tried the Lee enfield pro mags ? I'd like some opinions before buying some
Before people start throwing rocks at me i purchased it for cheap and restored it, it's nice enough to keep but not collector enough to sell it for a profit and i can't see my target past 50 yards with iron sight because of my mole rat vision

Lee Enfield magazines were designed to be easy to remove for maintenance, they were not designed to be removed and replaced rapidly for reloads, even tho that’s obviously what mags are used for now. They were still designed for stripper clips.
Point being, Lee endings are generally not considered to be reliably interchangeable. From factory and in the field, mags would usually require a minimal amount of fiddling to be perfect for each rifle, so if you make a promag run great consider still using stripper clips and leaving the one mag in the rifle.
Or, say screw it and buy 10, who cares. But yeah promags are shit and will require fitting.
