After getting two crappy mags from Eagle International for my Remington 597 I decided to give them a call and complain. The lady who answered my call indicated that there was a new revision to the magazines that made them work 100%. She said she would be mailing 2 mags out to me via UPS ASAP. I asked her to put that they were warranty returns so I would not have to pay the 35 bucks to clear them again. She said she would look into it. 1 week later I recieved a phone call from UPS stating that MB Products will be clearing a parcel for me and I would not have to pay anything. 2 days after that my new mags arrived, Eagle International/MB Products had paid the brokerage, GST and PST so I owed UPS nary a cent. That was a very nice touch!

The newer mags double stack the first 10 rounds in the mag and have the same feed angle for round 1 as the 30th round. I packed them into my range bag and headed to the range. I put each magazine 5 times through my rifle and they ran without a hitch. No jams no hiccups just kept chugging along, even when I rapped off the full 30 rounds as fast as I could pull the trigger. Am quite pleased with these mags and will be ordering a few more as funds allow.
 
sounds like fun......

Are there any of these type mags available in the 22WMR for the 597????

Would love to get my hands on one, or two! :shotgun:
 
Just seems to be for 22lr right now. Maybe shoot them an email asking for 22mag magazines, perhaps if enough people ask they will make some.

SWEET... good to know :)

I was going to order one or two, but than heard about problems and decided not to...

Do you know if they can ship USPS?
 
The lady on the phone said she would have to check if it was ok to send mags via USPS. These were sent UPS so I am thinking I would have to phone my order in next time and request USPS...
 
Wow you where lucky!
When I called to complain she said the same thing, but when UPS came I had to pay $18 again. So far I have paid more for shipping and UPS fees then the cost of the mag.
I will be testing it tomorrow and hopefully it will work.
 
I think they paid the brokerage and all that because I flirted it up a bit and used my ###y phone voice...:evil:

If they can ship USPS then I would buy 4 more.

You dawg you!! ;)
Thanks much for the update!
I've been waiting with bated breath for this news... my order will be going in shortly (I think I'll add the muzzle brake to the order :D )
 
Took the 597 out yesterday again. Went through a full Federal bulk pack with not a hitch using these mags (they even clear a Harris bipod no problem, there is nearly 2 inches of clearance with the bipod deployed). As mentioned earlier in the thread they will function perfectly with 32 rounds in them! Looks like I need to get 4 more...
 
Rimfire Sports sells these mags now for 23.95 with free shipping to Canada and they ship USPS so no raping by UPS anymore. I just ordered 4.

EDIT: is there a phone number you can reach them at? I couldn't find one...

They would be the new ones, they only shipped a small quantity of the crappy ones out before they redid the molds. No phone number, just a fax number and email addy. I ordered my Volquartsen parts from them before, they are quick to ship and have great service.

Got my 30round magazine today! (feels good to say it:cool: ). Wow I ordered it like Friday midnight and it’s already here; :dancingbanana:that’s REALLY fast considering US guys had the Monday off.... Now just have to try it out, if it will be will be 100% I’ll get a few more.

Now that I have a 2.5-10x42 scope and a 30 round mag for my 597 now I just need a bipod. :)
