OT Gun question with metal content
I need the smallest capacity magazine for a Winchester Model 100 in .308
cal. I see prices from here to there, and I think it's quite a range. Do I need to buy a genuine vintage magazine, or is an aftermarket okay? And which aftermarkets function as well as an original? How much today, and where to buy? Thanks Steve |

OT Gun question with metal content
Aftermarket mags are almost always a crap shoot. Some are very good
others are pure junk. For that rifle you will likely find only Wisner made magazines. They are made using the factory dies and are almost the same as factory mags (just no Winchester stamped on the bottom) Watch out that you don't buy a model 88 bag. They look very similar but will not feed in the 100 Steve B wrote: I need the smallest capacity magazine for a Winchester Model 100 in .308 cal.

Thanks Steve For best results, get an original. And there was only one size magazine made by Winchester. Fortunately, the one you need is for the caliber they made the most of. As far as WHERE, Numrich/Gun Parts may have some, I picked mine up at gun shows. There are usually some vendors that specialize in magazines, at least around here. You may encounter an 8-shot made by Colyer, I got a couple of those really cheap once($2), they didn't function. These days, I've seen some pretty fancy prices on those, priced higher than an original factory magazine. Current price for a factory .308 is $50-$80 when you can find them. There are also model 88 magazines that look similar. One can be interchanged with the other, but not the reverse and I don't remember which way it is. Stan |

Stan One can...in many cases...fix magazines that dont work. One simply has to understand how the working magazine works..and why the non working one doesnt. Unless its so poorly made that its an utter piece of ****. But Ive made a lot of cheap mags work, at least for a time. Gunner The methodology of the left has always been: 1. Lie 2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible 3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible 4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie 5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw 6. Then everyone must conform to the lie |
