Talk:Peaky Blinders - Season 1

Lee-Enfield used in the Season 1 finale

I am reluctant to edit the main page. I'm not in any way an expert on Lee-Enfield variants, but the rifle in the scene is clearly not a standard SMLE, judging by the magazine. The magazine in the onscreen gun is large, jutting considerably beyond the trigger guard, and has a very slight cant - all unlike the original, heavily canted, almost flush with the handguard, 10rd magazine.

From a short Google search, I got the idea that the onscreen gun could be a converted 7.62 NATO version or one of the modern commercial versions. The magazine of the onscreen rifle is lightly canted, juts considerably from the receiver, has a prominent facet narrowing it back-to-front and a lower lip (hinting at slide-on lower magazine plate), and seems to be detachable. This is clearly visible in the screencaps already present in the article. If anyone concurs, it would be great and in line with IMFDB standards of precision that the article should be edited accordingly. Tushan (talk) 20:19, 6 June 2016 (EDT)
