   I have a Canadian No. 7 without its correct magazine.  Does anyone know where I could source one, or at least the correct follower?

	They pop up as complete units from time to time here in the Great White North, if you register on icollector and watch Canadian auctions you'll find one. Switzers is a good place to look. If you haven't gotten lucky by early summer let me know and I should be able to get you just the follower. The springs are the same as a .303 so you can drill the matching holes and rivet it yourself.

	Hi Chaps, Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. I shall investigate the matter further. Apart from the missing follower the rifle is in very good shape, complete and accurate. Regards, Terry

	My Air Cadet squadrons has six of those. I just finished cleaning them up. They have the sling loop in front of the magazine. Was this common for cadet issue rifles?

	he!!o, Shiloh posted the following offer february 27, 2025, and the add is dated august 2025. So I just checked and the magazine is still available on Gun Post. How can an august add be mentioned on a february post ? By the way, I agree that terrylee wants to keep is rifle with a complete magazine but this follower is useless for it does not permit to have a bullet deposited on it and after to engage the bullet in the chamber with the bolt. The rifle is shootable without the follower.

	There was a .22 RF adapter,for the .303 magazine once upon a time. IIRC there was a thread on it a few years back on here. I think the guy made one fairly simply by bending sheet metal? Maybe a quick search for "22 magazine follower" might turn something up?

	I has considered making a simple one out of sheet metal, but with current technology one might consider 3D printing as an alternative?

	Not in my wheelhouse I'm afraid, you'd need someone a bit more current.

	I'm just back from the range. A friend of mine confirms that when he was in the cadets and after as an instructor, the magazines of the C No 7 Mk 1 were empty....no follower or spring.
