Thanks Littlejohn!

I purchased the No. 4 from a local gun shop a number of years ago.  It's ROF Maltby made in 1941.  It has a beech wood stock and an interesting button cocking piece as opposed to the usual flat rectangular ones.

BTW: I stopped by the same gun shop today...still nicely appointed but it's easy to tell their dying a slow death.  Sad to say that the big box stores are doing them in. :-[

The Eddystone Pattern 14 I acquired from a local private sale.   It's in very good shape and all numbers matching!  Unfortunately the forend of the original stock was removed.  Bummer, because the remaining stock was in excellent condition.  Finding a replacement fat boy stock was no easy task...especially in halfway descent shape.  Another nice thing was that the complete side volley sight was still fully intact located on the left center of the rifle!

Whig, I've also included some photos of a no1 mkIII magazine that I modified (before I knew better) to fit Jungle Carbines.  Using my No4/5 magazine as an example...I removed about half the guide rib from the no1 MkIII mag.  It actually fits and cycles bullets well after tuning the tabs.

Sometimes you have to fiddle with the tabs, at the top of the magazine (front and back), to get them to cycle bullets properly.

As you probably know...the magazine was supposed to stay on the rifle and the magazines were to be loaded with a charger or individually one-at-a-time.
