rusty51; I'm sorry that I'm unable to comment on the half cock/safety position if I understand it right. There are some guys on canadiangunnutz that seem to know all things regarding Lee Enfield rifles and they might be able to help out - if you happen to go there. I don't post much there but do use the equipment exchange and a quick check there did show one guy with some LE magazines for sale. That's the good news....... the bad news is that he was asking $70 for them if memory serves. My goodness I remember the entire Lee Enfield rifles being sold in 45gal drums in Army and Navy in Regina way back in the day for $20 or maybe $25. I still seem to see magazines at the Penticton gun show every spring, but can't say I was paying attention to the prices for a good long while now. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you sir and good luck on your magazine search. Dwayne

I still hunt with a Mk 4 no1 that I purchased for $13.95 at Marshel-Wells hardware store in Nipigon.
Last Mags i saw were going for $75 each--matter of fact I bought a Mk4 a couple of years ago for $40 just to get the mag

Springfield Sporters in Penn Runn, Pennsylvania has mags at $50 each.
It is the ONLY place I know that has them but I do not know if he will ship to Canada.

Remember, there is a difference between the NoI MKIII and the IV's magazines. I've been looking for a five rounder for my III without much success.
