Here's some old contact info for Klienguenther rifles. They imported Voere barreled actions for their guns. Now they are called KDF rifles. No idea if they kept the same # or address.
Kleinguenther Firearms 1604 N. Heideke St. P.O. Box 2020 Seguin, TX 78155 830-372-5050

I have the Titan II in a .375 H&H. My spare magazine is an aftermarket one and the stamping says it was made by Mauser. I don't know if this will help. Matt

Peter, I've also seen that the Voere rifle company at voere.com sells magazines. I believe it might be a different company but they do have the Titan II on their website. Good luck. Matt

You might try searching for the kleingunther K15 magazine in either .308 Win or .243 Win.I think the K15 was the same as the Voere Titan ll. Jim Just out of curiosity: How'd you lose the riginal magazine?Jim

FWIW, Here's a complete Titan ll for sale. Pics in th ad show a decent photo of the magazine, which may help in your search. http://www.gunsamerica.com/97684575...an_made_Voere_Titan_II_308_DST_Rifle.htmI had two back in the 80's, one in .270Win and the other in .375 H&H.GREAT ACCURATE RIFLES! You may be able to pickup a magazine for a different caliber and have a gunsmith modify the follower and feed lips to fit the .308 Win properly. The magazines were all about the exact same in length and box fot as I recall, only difference being they had different followers and a block of metal at the rear of the box mag which was so the shorter action cartridges fed properly.. You will probably not find a replacement magazine easily..if ever..Jim

Hi Jim , no chance when i do something this stupid large amounts of strong drink need to be involved to get the story out . let me leave it at small mistakes adding up to a big one. engage brain when gettng out of bed . does anybody know if 7.5 by 55 would work for my .308 that looks to be the most likely candidate to replace my .308 on the list Matt sent

i was going to suggest that the Voere magazine for the metric 7,5x55 Swiss would be damned close..Think the vendor I gave you earlier had one and while not stamped properly or labeled I bet it would fit the mag well and work..perhaps with a gunsmiths's very slight work on feed lips of magazine. The dimesions of the two cartridges are close, tho not exact..Jim

and a better link for most all the cartridge dimensions in one spot. Compare the .308 Win with 7,5 Schmidt Ribin( 7,5x55)Jim http://stevespages.com/page8d.htm

Pete, You're welcome. The two I had were MOA rifles right out of the box.The double set triggers were excellent as was the rest of the workmanship on the rifles.Jim

Hi Jim , yes this is the most boring rifle a handloader could ever buy , no matter what bullet i put through it the little round hole comes up pretty close to the half inch mark, 30-30 170 grainers or ballistic tips at 165 grs , all the same half an inch no load developement , right out of the book powder charges , oal doesn't seem to matter ,just one of those guns. you can see why i need that magazine! regards peter
