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.

thanks rickyd ,i'll call them now and let you know,p

Hi Rickyd , I called the number and left a message with an unidentied voice , I'll post if something good happens.
thanks peter

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

Hi Mattw , thanks that could help , i found that when voere was in some money trouble they were purchased by mauser , i'll e mail mauser now and see if that uncovers anything .
in the meanwhile sure would appreiciate any way you can keep an eye open for me , thanks again,,peter

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

Hi Matt ; voere was god enough to answer a number of my e-mails ,
the titan was not made by the current company and they state they have no parts for the german made voeres and no knowledge of the whereabouts of parts .So i hit a brick wall there .
does any one have any ida as to where i could post my reguest other than here or a more commercial site that deals with this type of thing ?
thanks again matt regards peter

348model 71,
Try this fellow.He's been around for a long time ans shows some Voere Titanll magazines, some of which should be the same as your .308 in size etc..Jim

Hi Jim , yes i spoke to him last week , no .308 magzines from him!
There has to be a few around , thanks for the suggsetions , keep 'em comin .
thanks peter

Jim, i read your post again, i see what what you are saying , find a magazine of the same length , and use that , boy that may be the fix in the short run , i'll lok through his list again ,
neither joe or myself thought of that last week when we spoke.
thanks for a great suggestion , regards peter

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.

I 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

here's a link showing dimensions of the metric cartridges

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

Yes Jim , I hope i can find the real thing , in the mean time i think i'll try the 7.5 by 55mm .
sure looks close to me .
thanks for steering me in a direction that should get that rifle out hunting again .
regards peter

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
