I gotta do this      

Tom, Who could have told you the Brits were inferior 600 years ago, because I'm Irish and we KNOW that the welfare State limeys can't hack it in the long run !

Tom
You dinnae understand laddie,
For me its McCulloughs and Logans on the left (the skirt wearing side) and Sullivans (the terrorists, and no, I'm not joking They ran guns for booze to Ireland during prohibition) and Powells, originally Pywells (who sing well in choir and are very respectable Episcopalians) . on the right. The only constant to a family reunion is that half the party will get drunk and most can't cook worth a damn. The only good thing is that the music is good.!
FQ13 who is a bit of a celtic mutt, but Scotish, Irish or Welsh (and God help me, but I still claim all three proudly) I still have issues with the Brits

Find any reasonably priced mags for it?

I thought about getting extra mags, but couldn't find any.  Plus, I read you're not supposed to treat the gun as a modern magazine fed gun, but as a top feed stripper clip gun with a removable magazine.

That may be but the .308 I have is not in strippers.  Also why noy have extra mags?  The one I have drops well and locks up well.  Easy to change.

BTW Brownells has had them, usually around $40 for the 10 rounders.

Haz, the rifle design dates back to the 1890's, originally it had a lever that locked the feed so it was a single loader, but in emergencies you could flip the lever and have the ten rounds, many of the early Krag's were made with the same feature.
I think the "detachable" box mag was more for disassembly, than for speedy reloads.

I bought a .308 bandoleer kit and loaded it up.

Thanks for the heads up on the mags.  Do you have a part#?
  BTW, does your mag have a ser# that matches your receiver?
