Description:
Two Lee Enfield Series 3 magazines. Both with Lithgow A Star marked followers and are modified from Series 2 magazines.
Series 3 magazines were modified from series 2 to hold the mk7 ammunition and be compatible with the remaining mk6 ammunition stocks. These were used with the mk7 rounds and on Short Lee Enfields until 1912 and then were made obsolescent.
They had the left lip removed and spring steel tag riveted on in its place and the hinged right lip was retained.
The rear spine features a double locking wedge and a rib spring used to tension the front of the magazine upwards off the trigger guard. Series 1 and Series 2 magazines can be found that have been officially converted to the Series 3 format.
