Are any hi-capacity magazines available for the 7600? I've heard of Eagle and D&E. Are these available in Canada? Which one do you prefer and why?
 
It doesn't seem as though anyone is manufacturing them today. It is interesting that the 7615 used AR magazines, but the 7600P uses regular magazines.
 
Ramline made one too. Plastic. Actually pretty good for Ramline.
The plastic Eagle's were the best I've used.
The metal Colyers always had feeding issues for me, follower would stick.

Dunno about D&E, never heard of it. Never tried/seen a TripleK either.
 
I'm not trying to stir up a nest here, but I thought that because the 7600 mags also fit into the 7400 (semi), they were limited to 4 rounds. I hope I'm wrong, I would love to get a high capacity mag for my 7600.

My understanding is that they were not manufactured for the 7400 Semi and not marketed as fitting the semi, so there is no restriction. If there is a manufacturer out there that states on the packaging that the extended magazine fits 7600 and 7400 then it would be restricted to the legal limit.

I agree

If they are designed to work with the 7400 they're a no-go, but 7400's have a bolt release built into the mag. I haven't seen any of these aftermarket mags with the bolt release built in. It's a sliding button on the side of the mag.

Not necessarily. The design is not the issue but the intent of the manufacture. LAR mags fit the AR pistol and are restricted to 10 rounds but by design will fit in the AR rifle, whose mag capacity,as we all know, is restricted to 5 rounds. The intent of their manufacture was for the pistol not the rifle and they are not marketed for the rifle. It is just a "coincidence" that they fit.
The Colyer mag, IIRC, did not have a bolt release for the 740 and 742 rifles.

I understand the intent of the manufacture plays THE role (and am eagerly waiting for .50beo LAR pistol mags), but I've never, ever, ever seen a new one on the shelf anywhere or one in new packaging and none of the ones I've tried have the rifle model on them, only caliber, so I dunno for sure. From factory, the semi mags have the bolt release and that is what separates them from the pump mags. I also agree that if the packaging listed semi and pump that would be trouble. I have never seen packaging, advertising, or bolt releases on any on these aftermarket mags.

Notice that the packaging makes reference to the Model 100 (semi) and 88 (lever).

And on this one it lists all Remington rifles it will work in.
 
^Yikes, burn the evidence! lol

Looks like Colyers are out. Though, they're the worst of all the ones I've tried.
 
i had one that was given to me.the guy had a 7400 in 270 and i have a 7600 in 30-06.since the capacity was 10 rounds he could not use it but i could.only problem with it was if you put more than 5 rounds in it,it would not go into the rifle because the sides would bow out.you could load it to 10 if you loaded the last 4-5 round through the ejection port after the mag was in the rifle.i did not like it because it also stuck out of the bottom of reciever to far.ram line i believe was the make.it was plastic/poly.
 
Not sure how the law evolved. I remember talking with David Tomlinson about magazines, and at that time it depended on what gun they were being used in. Now it is definitely what they are designed for and has been for years.

Man on man are you ever going back in time. I have not seen any of those boxes in years?? Very cool.
I do remember the remington ones not being as universal as the box says and some tweeking would be required to get them to feed right and after the last round when used in a 760 you could not close the action with out removing the mag or am I mixed up with something else. What year do you think yours is early 60's. thanks for sharing
 
I actually "stole" this photo from another site. I've had extended mags in the past, but not with the box like in the pic.
I'm guessing late 60's, early 70's.
The 740 and 742 factory mag had the last shot/hold-open feature.
