Box magazine capacity.[edit]

The article currently states:

"...no Lee rifle ever carried more than ten rounds (with the exception of the so-called "trench" magazines from the times of WWI, designed for 20 rounds)..."

...however I believe the Ishapore 2A1 was/is commonly fitted with a 12 round magazine. Is there any reason not to mention this, given it is still based on the original design? BH530481 (talk) 13:56, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
