How can you get a general issue semi automatic rifle instead of the No4 Mk1 Lee Enfield. To avoid the time and expense of developing a new cartridge alongside the new rifle it must use an existing round. As was normal for the time it should ideally be fed by stripper clip or enblock clip but if you can come up with a reason that would be acceptable to the army of the 30's to use a magazine so much the better. It must use a full power rifle round.
