"Ersatz" magazines for the Squires - Bingham 20p

[fat tony]

I got meself a Marlin 725 magazine, just a 7 rounder. I am pleased with the quality of it, it's very nicely built.

I tried it out in the magazine well of my Squires Bingham 20P and it is a VERY close fit. I am going to try building the rear of the box up, hopefully with a bit of tinkering it will be an adequate fit.

If you want a magazine that bad, I'd sell you the one off my gun.
As far as I can tell it's in good shape.

No, don't worry about it. Think of the resale value. Also I have already bought the magazine. $20 bucks.

You seem to know a bit about these guns.

What would you say a model 20 with a broken trigger is worth?

IMO, the magazine is worth more than the rifle if sold alone. Together, $80-$100 as is.

I will give you a dollar to keep it away! Sorry...a bit jaded. I recently took up the reins of a "broken trigger" project. It took me months (and a lot of nagging) to find a replacement I could afford...

I found out after, Numrich does have a complete trigger available. If I were to undertake a project like that again, I'd pony-up and buy a new one. I used to be quite partial to the 'ol 20's...they are pretty accurate, affordable, and nicely sized. That trigger is the achillies heel. Chasing those little ball bearings around my kitchen floor proved good excercise though!

PM sent...

Magazines are worth about 40 bucks from a dealer, can be found at shows for about 25 bucks.

You guys might want to check with the distributor. It seems the originals may be available in Canada. The Armscor and the Squires are the same gun
and still being made.

^The Genuine Armscor 15 round magazines are very, very nice, but the prices are getting astronomical.

Sporteque dot ca has them, however at that price they can keep them for now. . .

The rifle is ready to try out with the Marlin 7 rounder. should be interesting. . . .
