Remington 37 Kenyon Trigger/Magazine Catch Query

(I'm new here, so if this post belongs elsewhere, please forgive my faux-pas.)

I'm hoping I can tap the generational knowledge here.

My father recently passed and I inherited some pieces that he never got a chance to go over with me. Case-in-point, a Remington 37 with a Kenyon trigger....with its magazine being held in with a piece of duct tape as the catch/release apparently have been removed to make room for the trigger assembly. Dad was a machinist, but sometimes he let some janky stuff slide, just so he could be shooting.

My question is, does anyone here know what Kenyon's preferred solution was to allow single or five-shot magazine use?

Thanks in advance for any help y'all can be.

Pol,
Don't let anybody talk you out of that rifle. Mainly if it is serial number 9000 or higher and has the Kenyon trigger, it is a very desired rifle by active RF shooters and collectors. I have a M-37 that I bought new when I was 16 years old. Its was brand new with Redfield olympic sights for a screaming $114.00!!! I put a Kenyon in it many years later and a McMillan barrel, also a thumbhole free rifle stock. Its was my 4 position rifle for many, many years. Haven't shot it in many years as 4 p and my old body just don't match up anymore!

As for your question the mag catch, I converted mine to single shot with the loading ramp insert, so I have no answer for your situation.

FWIW
