At least you caught your own mistake, track down some of my post and you will feel much better about yourself. Good luck. |

while i think it extreemly important to get the nomencature correct , i have no problem with folks posting these errors , it helps us all to remember to explain ourselves well , and no your post was not stupid we all have our moments , cannot tell you how often it happens to me ,
there was in fact an SMLE mkIV , it was actually a modification of mkII & mkII* lee metfords and mkI & mkI* lee enfeilds that were upgraded to mkIII standards , since this occured long before the change in nomenclature that made no1 rifles - no1s we dont generally see that used ,
and since these were conversions of multiple early rifles to a standard that was subsiquently upgraded you dont see a lot about these and the whole area of upgraded older rifles can get pretty confusing to someone new to collecting enfields , you need the bible - "the lee enfeild story" to fully grasp all the nuances in tyhis area

I use No.1 MkIII magazines in my No.4.
They are a tight fit. Some No.4 Magazines will work in a No.1 rifle, but some will hang up on the magazine cut off plate, its not easy to get one back out if it does hang up.
