The Charlton was designed to use the 30 rd (or28) Bren mag, and will not accept a 10rd SMLE mag. If you are curious, there has been a fully functioning
example for sale in NZ for some time now. I have seen this rifle when owned by it's previous owner (and maker), and it is superbly made to original blueprints, but unfortunately Aust's gun laws are quite more restrictive than NZ.
