A friend of mine had these 3 mags at home and doesn't know what rifle they are for. It isn't for a Lee Enfield, but appears to be British, because of the crown in one of the proofmarks.
The magazines are identical except for the proofmarks. Each one has a unique mark. One has a crown above the letters "CB". The other two have a J inside a circle, below one circle is a backwards B, but the bottom of the B is faint, making it appear to look like a backwards R. The third has J inside a circle above the letter B.
Also can't tell what caliber this is for. A 30-06 (7.62×63mm) is too long to fit inside, the two rounds in the pics below, are 7.62x51mm NATO (.308), and they appear to be shorter than what the mag was intended for. Not sure if it might be .303, but I know its not a Lee Enfield mag.
If the pictures look like someone was more concerned with composition than the average INGOer, you can thank my artsy-craftsy wife for that.
I'm sure someone out there will know instantly. Please chime in!
