Im sure that Harry will back me up on this, but the problem with using the L4 LMG mag on an SLR was that the internal mag' spring, being designed for a "gravity assisted feed" magazine wasnt really strong enough for being used on the SLR unless it was either beefed up by a friendly unit armourer or "short loaded" by a couple of rounds.
I never had one myself, but a couple of mates did and my brother carried a couple when he was in the army and they all said the same thing.
No problems with feeds on the SLR mag fitted to an L4 though!
BTW, lovely looking L4 m3bobby, we had them in my RE unit.
