Tuning lee enfield smle co2 magazine falling out

In another thread I was asked about what I would like to see in next umarex legends series. It just jumped to my head, why not a lee enfield?
Part of the reason being there's an existing one on market. It is fun when it works, but it is not that reliable per say.

One of the most annoying issue would be magazine falling out if you work the bolt moderately fast. It's due to the magazine being held by only 2 piece, among which, 1 is shared by the bolt stopper and the mag release.

I believe pic2 can have too much movement when you rack the bolt too much, and the right(or wrong) movement caused the mag to fall to the ground.


My temp workaround is to use some velcro straps around lower wood furniture. I wish it doesn't look so obvious on the surface. Maybe someone can figure out a way to strenghen the grip internally?
