Canadian No.7 Magazine

   A lot of misinformation is being posted in this thread. Canadian C No 7 rifles were ABSOLUTELY issued and used with .22 marked magazine bodies containing a feed tray follower. Source: all surviving documentation, all surviving issued examples, CFTOs that are publicly available, and me a former Weapons Tech (Land) who found many original magazines still in inventory in the 2020's.
Second, Canadian military training rifles were NOT sleeved No 4 Mk1*s. They were purpose built action bodies and barrels. There are a great deal of FAKES on the market at present that make use of sleeved .303 barrels. These are civilian facimilie parts builds as surplus .22 barrels dried up many many years ago, many of which were turned in to .22 hornets and the like.

	thank you - thats what ive said above - they were purpose built with 22 barrels and yes the mags are marked 22 cal and yes they have the feed ramp , im glad there are at least two of us hgat understand these rifles , i do not know about any post war production of these at all , i only know of the 44-45 trainers longbranch produced , they were all purpose built rifles - both of mine were 45s , the one i retained is correct and original , the one i sold [traded] was correct and original as well ,
