I always want to have one of this but never really saw one before. From web page it is hard to tell the quality and Material of AP74 till have it in hand today. It is a well made by Italy manufacturer Armi Jager in the 80S', feel at least 70% compare to M16, that is the soft spot of vintage firearms guy like me.

Question: what kind of magazine is this?

Enjoy some pictures and have a great weekend!

Nice looking find.
I briefly owned one in the early 80's.
Constant ftf and fte, had to replace it with a non-restricted Colt Sporter 2.
One of my best decisions ever.
 
I have one.
Bought it for $200 when I was 20 in 2001.
It's been a great little .22 despite the restricted status.
Using CCI Mini Mags it functions 100%.
I rarely shoot it now because I'm worried if something breaks I'll have a very hard time finding a replacement part.
 
My buddy has one with Wood furniture, that one is somewhat unique/nice looking. Saw a black one was at gun show last year, & it was going for pretty cheap.
 
What kind of mag?? A rare one!! After about 1000 rounds mine work flawless. Picked it up in about 1984 or so and it was fun to shoot till they made them restricted and then I sold it. I think I still have the original owners manual for one filed away.
 
looks like a squires bingham m1600 , and a magazine for pretty much any other squires bingham mag will work in it , just dont have the outer dress up to make it look like it belongs there

unless I am missing something.

a quick google is telling me it is not what I first thought , but that mag.....


hahahaha , ok I gotta be wrong

Pretty sure the wood furniture ones were a different beast. Those were made in the Philippines, this is Italian. The Philippine ones were awful. They would work well until the trigger mechanism wore out, then off to the scrap pile.
I could be wrong, though. An old ‘70’s or eighties copy of Gun Digest would provide answers but I don’t have mine anymore.
 
I'll ask him, it's nice enough I'd def. buy it. I think he said it may be Prohib? He's on here too, never seen a wood one b4 that.
 
...^ haha..those soo UGLY..they just a basic Squires action, with all that jazz surrounding it, but I might still get one for shiitz n'gigglez as they say. I see them around for pretty cheap. I have a retractable stock for one somehow. P.S. I've known people to 'Make' DYI .22 magazines, this is b4 3D printing, now, it may be easier..still tricky, but the body & follower, base plate can be printed..someone who knows what they're doing etc.
 
I inherited one from my father, and it's actually quite fun to shoot. Fairly accurate and reliable with the right ammo. Came with two mags.

I have no real need for it, so I'll likely be putting it on EE soon. I could afford to free up some space.
