I found one of those reproduction 10 round magazines for the No4Mk1.  $35.00 out the door with free shipping.
If I was to screw-up doing what I did, at least it wasn't with an original. I had a choice of soldering the floor plate on or welding. I chose the latter. The floor plate is an old worn out saw blade.
Just some minor tweaks to those  little ears and it was feeding bullets like it is supposed to do. Not the best looking 5 round mag out there but, it looks good to me...

Looks fine to me.
Is it easy to remove? the P-H ones had the little "wings" on the bottom plate for a better grip when removing.

I have it so that you can snap the magazine in place with the tip of your finger and removal is simply pressing on the safety catch with a very light touch.
I am using a No1Mk111 safety catch that I cut the notch for the sear spring deeper. The sear spring is as thin as I have found too. Combined, it makes for an actual lightened trigger and magazine removal is smooth as glass...
