Lake field semi

[infideleggwelder]

Picked up a lakefield mossberg MK III auto loader for $22.50. Really good shape after the surface rust was scrubbed off. Accurate and reliably ejected 10 or so hand fed cartridges. No mag. Is anyone carrying new mags? Is there another make that will fit? This is my first .22 lr.

savage may fit

Savage does fit. You can buy them at Cabelas or any other gun shop

Is there only one style of savage mag, or is there a specific model?

Savage MKII magazines made new today. There was a Lakefield MkII (bolt action still produced by Savage) and the magazines are the same.

Few variations of MkIII out there. Can you remove a plug on the back of your receiver(Mossberg style), or is your receiver solid backed (Cooey 64 style)? Won't matter regarding your magazine, I'm just nosey. Had a couple pass through here.

Does the mag well look like a keyhole? I had an old Lakefield 64B with the keyhole shaped mags and they were certainly different than my Mark II mags.

The rifle I have had the fold down front stock(not sure what that's for). Solid back style, no keyhole mag well. Looks identical to the one on your link, camster.

Some were stamped as Lakefield-Mossberg, some just Lakefield. Stocks changed a bit too. The fold down forestock is def of a Mossberg influence. Not certain if it was to be used as "tactical" foregrip, flip down monopod, or just some idea of what was "cool" in the day.

Cycling by hand will only be so much fun. Get that gem to a range!

Can you post a pic of the underside of your rifle? Or a link to one?

out of the stock? My link in post #5 has a few pics of a MkIII out of the stock.

I ment for the OP to post some pic's

 

[infideleggwelder]

I can. It's presentable now for the most part. The guy I got i from found it under 17 years of tools an garage junk, in a garage that has no bay door that works. He doesn't remember owning it. But I'll get some pics up

$22.50?

Trying to get the photo from photobucket on my phone. Not going well. When I get to computer, I'll get them up. Paatz, that's what was in my pocket when he said make an offer. All my firearms seem to land on my lap when I'm not looking for them.

here it is, the black part of the fore end is the part that folds down

and the bottom

 

[darcy32171]

The magazines I have that I posted are the ones you need. The small one in the pic is a factory 7 shot mag from a Lakefield Mark 2.
