Help identifying .22 magazine - The Firearms Forum

hoomangoo · 03-29-2012, 01:56 AM

hi there ya'll. I was at a buddys house today who had a pile of junk he was throwing away. I noticed a small metal box containing a .22 magazine and a few scope rings and bases...so i of course snatched it up! My question is can anyone identify it for me? there are no visible marks on it anywhere. the only distinguishing characteristics i can see on it is that the magazine release appearsto be integrated onto the magazine, rather than on the gun.(notice the little lever on the back in the 3rd picture.) thought maybe it was old or something and may be worth a few bucks to someone. appears to be a 6 or maybe 7 shot capacity. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Marlin model 25 for sure, probably a few other Marlin's too. It's a seven round. Is the follower plastic or metal? The plastic followers are crap.

That was the standard go-to .22 bolt-action Marlin magazine forever. Fits the Model 80, derivatives and store brand versions.

How much you want for it?

yes, the follower is metal. some surface rust on it, but i think it should clean off. if it comes pretty clean, think it might be worth 10 or 15 bucks to someone? and thanks guys for the quick answer! much appreciated
