Mossberg Plinkster 802-702 magazine compatible?

[swrmacmullin]

Hey im wondering if anyone on here has any idea of whether or not the Mossberg plinkster 702 25rd magazine, will fit into the Mossberg 802 gun.

Ive looked online and from what i can tell the designs are very similar, and it 'looks' as if it would work, just wondering if anyone knows for sure.

Have been trying to find a 25 rd mag for my 802 before gopher season

Thanks for your help

I just got an 802 ss and was reading the manual last night, not 100% but I don't think the 802 bolt and the 702 semi mags are interchangable.
If you still have your manual check it, or let me know, I'd buy another 802 spare mag.

Oh okay, thanks, will have to do a bit of reading then.. sigh..

The back of the follower is different. the bolt gun is tapered the semi auto is square. The square ramp acts as the hold open on the semi auto. I use the auto mags in my sons bolt action so that it holds the bolt back on the last shot.
