There was (and is) a magazine for the G98, issued during WW1, to give the rifle 25 rounds instead of the usual 5. It is detachable in the technical sense, but was intended to be left in place. Reproductions are floating about. A similar device was made for the M1903. Changeover was simple, requiring only the point of a bullet to disengage the magazine floorplate.
I knew an individual of questionable sanity who managed to fit (using the term loosely) a BREN mag to his tomato stake No5Mk1. Looked like he'd braized the body of a BREN mag to the top of the SMLE's mag. Why he wanted a 30 round SMLE I did not know. It lookded hideous.
