Magazines for an Old Mossberg 22?

[Hugh R]

I'd like to buy some mags for this old 22, I have one that holds five rounds.

It says:

O.F. Mossberg and Sons, Inc.
New Haven, Conn, USA
42M 22-S-L-LR

I've searched but no luck, I have no idea as to its age.

Looks like magazines for the 42 are pricey. One on Ebay with a BIN of $125, others in the $50 range. You cab bid on this one: Mossberg R119 7 Round Magazine for 42B C M TR Models New Old Stock | eBay

Try from phone

Sorry. Send text for return pix of clip pls. Hugh or someone who will post it. Thx.tom

[Hugh R]

Text sent.

For $50-$110, I don't want one that badly.

[craigster59]

From the Ebay ad, it looks like the part # is R-119 for the 42M model.

Craig, I don't think that one is quite right. The one I have doesn't have a spacing rod for different size of 22 rounds.

If yours is a 42M as stated in your initial post, that would be the magazine (maybe you have an aftermarket one.

fits. does not have a fancy screw, but those always cost more. The guide rails on the back look similar.

I know how to measure things if that helps.

I also pixed my western field lever model 865, no serial numbers, made by mossberg for hardware stores, sears, wards, etc.

[Hugh R]

Guide rail looks very different. Mine is a 42M, doesn't say (A), (B) or (C), so I don't know.

i see. I had one of those a few years back, sold it to a serious collector from Topeka, KS.
I had just one clip. I will keep my eyes peeled for one in case I discover one.

[Hugh R]

Craig, in looking at the ebay one closer, it looks like it will fit, the rear groove is about the same size. I may well bid on it. I contacted vic@havlinsales.com and he said he is going to start making some soon, but no price given.

[Hugh R]

Bid up to $41 and got out bid, gotta think how much I really want one for a rifle I shoot once every few years. Initially I was hoping for around $20-$25.

My Son is picking me up two S&W M&P Shield 40, seven round mags new for $16.50 each with his discount. Real S&W mags.

[Hugh R]

Finally got an email from havlinsales.com, they're re-manufacturing these mags and I'm buying one for $42 delivered.

[id10t]

Yup, Havlins. Their scope mount is also very good. I have one for my 44US-c but I prefer using the S-130 peeps (I have other scoped bench guns)

Got it today, its fits and works perfectly.
