Squires Bingham Model 14 Mags

[SeamusMac]

Hey Folks,

Anyone know of a dealer that has Armscor M1400 mags in stock? Sportque is sold out and they’re the only dealer my googling can reveal.

Alternatively, can anyone substantiate a claim I read that Mossberg Plinkster or Squires Bingham Model 20 magazines will work?

Northern Republic maybe? If not, Numrich...

Hey Hitzy, thanks for the suggestions!

I emailed Northern Republic (thanks for the hint, hadn't heard of them before) and checked on Numrich but they're all out of Model 14 mags.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the Model 20 or 16 mags will fit and function in the Model 14?

Just for reference if anyone in the future stumbles on this thread, here’s a related thread on magazine conversion:

Apparently the Marlin Model 70 magazine is a good fit with minor modifications via zee Dremel.

Quick update...

Marlin Mod. 70/795 mags appear to be the correct length front-to-back but the extreme "keyhole" shape of the Mod. 14 magwell would probably require major modification of the mag to make it fit.

The Savage/Lakefield Model 64b mag looks to have the same "keyhole" shape and could be a much better fit. I'm anticipating having to do some work on the rear locking surface as the Sav/Lakefield mags are front locking whereas the Mod. 14 is rear locking.
