In need of info or a mag- Older LAKEFIELD-MOSSBERG MARK II Repeater, Magazine - different than 'newer' Savage Mark II..?

[Johnyy]

`Hi, I got this old Lakefield Mossberg Mark II. I also have a modern Savage Mark II. I've noticed most every Mark II repeater &/or mag I see for sale, is labelled as "Savage &/or Lakefield" not Mossberg- Does the 'Mossberg/Lakefield Mark II designation use a different magazine? {they look the same}

As of now, one of the Savage's mags are stuck in the old girl . I found a pic online of an older Lakefield/Mossberg Mark II as mine, & the mags look virtually' identical. Maybe slightly different on the 'fins'?? Not sure- Can I use this 'savage' mag in the 'Mossberg/Lakefield' ones, if I modify/file the magazine{fins} down?
Or is there, their own specific mag? I tried all 3 of my Savage Mark II mags, which do list works in 'Lakefield .22's..but nowhere have I seen any listing for Mossberg.
Here's what every mag for sale says:

*Compatible With The Following Models: Savage and Lakefield Mark II, 501, 504 and 900 Series Bolt Action Repeater

All 3 of my mags basically got stuck/were very tight, & now, the short one is stuck & the bolt won't go in...about to get it out.

Thanks for any info on this- Cheerz~

Clip for my Mossberg was straight . Can't send a picture as I sold the gun

The Big pic, is off an auction, selling a Mossberg/Lakefield Mark II. They do look the same as the Savage Mark II..but there has to be some differences. Guess I'll just start filing', & see where I get .

I was hoping, someone seeing this, has both, like me..an older Mossberg/Lakefield + a New Savage Mark II, to compare mags for the/any differences. I got the older rifle without a mag.

Seems if you have the old Mossberg/Lakefield Mark II, the newer mags, look the same, just don't fit. At least not on mine.

I'll try calling Lakefield..its not far from me too..

Google imaging?

Mags should be the same, it's possible your mag well is out of position or something else off a little.

A springfield 84c mag would probably work, have read of people grinding the ears down on the savage mark 2 mags and adding a notch to get them to work.
Numerich has mags in stock

Hey Fred, Thank you! I think I'm going to take it 'slow' & start 'grinding'/filing' the 5 rnder I have. I did find ONE post on the inter-weebz, about the older Mark II/Mossberg, to grind down the 'fins'. {The Savage Mark II mags DO NOT Direct fit} They look the same.

Also, funny, the *Link to gun parts...she don't have MOSSBERG in there..I'm "assuming" it's link for Older Mark II's? Seems {Mossberg}it's like the Red Headed Step Child of MARK II's or something.. {& Ima Red-Head} lol

There are Lakefield/Savage. - Savage - but no love for the 'Mossberg/Savage Mark II out there. Maybe she a Rare one ...
Cheers ~

i have a Lakefield mossberg mk2, and used regular 10 round savage mk2 mags no fitting required

I had the same issue with a Savage Model 4C that belonged to my grandfather. I ground down a Mk2 mag, and it worked, but not well. I eventually shelled out for the modern-day version of the mag.

This is the one I picked up: http://www.wisnersinc.com/model/savage-bolt-action-rimfire/

If you do grind down a Mk2 mag, make sure you get the notch in exactly the right spot, or it won't feed well.
