Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires 22 magazine I.D.

Found this magazine in a box of old 22 LR ammo in my great grandpas stash of LR ammo.

No idea how many it holds. It did have a 22 Short in it among the LR shells.

Also took a few pics w the tape so you could get an idea of dimensions.

Looks like a Rem 513 magazine.

Thanks DD. Looks to be about right.

I also think it is for a "5-series" Remington bolt repeater, 511, or 513.

(and I love your Marble's "Ideal" sticker!).

Savage Mod 23 AA, 22lr

Damn, looks like that one too.

The notch for the catch being triangular identifies it as Savage, Remington's are rectangular. File the notch out & it will fit a Remington. It was used in almost all Savage and Stevens box magazine rifles rifles for a number of years staring in the 1930's. There were two different size 5 round and a 10 round. Yours is the longer five round and will fit any rifle, the shorter 5 round will not fit in rifles with heavy contour stock like the Savage 23-AA & 19-33 or the Stevens 416.

CORRECTION, I originally had this wrong, now corrected - The top of the notch in a Remington is NOT in the same location as the Savage, Remington magazines will fit a Savage BUT WILL NOT ENGAGE THE CATCH.

Very similar to my Remington 511.

CORRECTION ----- this answer to that post is wrong-> They're more than just similar, like I said, file the notches for the catch out and it will fit a Remington and the Remington's will fit a Savage without modification. correction ->New notches need to be added to a Remington to work in a Savage, I've had one in a Savage I bought sometime ago and didn't realize it was just being held by friction, sorry for not looking closer to begin with and making a wrong assumption.

Attached a picture (.....what I should have done at to begin with, sorry for the (my) confusion) -


According to Triple-K the Remington Nylon 11, 511 & 513 all took the same magazine. These Savage & Stevens models all took the same with the shorter version not fitting the heavy stocked guns - Savage models 4, 7, 1933NRA, & 23-AA; Stevens models 56, 57, 84, 85 & 416. They also list some models of Anschutz but I'm not sure about the earlier magazines working in them, I think the later ones with a second set of notches higher up are for those, like the short one pictured (another assumption... but I've been wrong before doing that...)

Looks like others have nailed it.
Cheap aftermarket have not worked for me and originals are spendy last I checked!
