Dick:  Madsenshooter caught the error about the 10 rd 'stripper' (The British actually call them 'chargers').  The early Lee-Metford Mark I had an eight round magazine ('chain linked') to the trigger-guard.  I believe the intent was to have spare magazines.  The British abandoned this idea and increased magazine capacity to 10 rounds and continued to 'link' the magazine to the guard.  'Charger-loading' was developed around 1902 for the Lee-Enfield, due to Boer War experience.  The State of Michigan issued spare magazines with their Model 1899 Remington-Lee Rifles in .30-40.  There were pockets on the Mills belts for the spare mags.  Although the British Lee-Enfield magazines are easily removeable, this feature was not really exploited and charger-loading made it unnecessary.
