Marlin Factory 7 Round 22LR 71900 Rifle Magazine

The Marlin factory 7 round .22 LR magazine, model 71900, is the straightforward answer for keeping a classic Marlin rimfire running exactly the way it left the factory. Precision engineered to match the rifle’s original specifications, it delivers the flawless fit and dependable feeding that aftermarket guesswork so often misses. It is also designed to work with all years of manufacture on compatible rifles, so the date stamped on your receiver is not something you need to research before ordering.

What the Marlin factory 7 round magazine is and who it is for

This is a genuine Marlin replacement part, not a copy built to approximate dimensions off a borrowed sample. Marlin rimfires have sold by the million since the middle of the last century, and the magazine is almost always the first piece to go missing, get stepped on, or simply wear out after decades in a closet.

If you inherited a Marlin bolt gun or a semi auto that shoots fine but came to you without a magazine, this is the single part that brings it back into service. It is just as sensible a buy for the owner who already has one and wants a spare so a range session or a squirrel hunt never ends early.

Features that matter

Everything here is built around one goal, which is feeding .22 LR the way the rifle’s designer intended.

• Genuine factory production under Marlin part number 71900
• 7 round capacity in .22 LR, the standard load for these rifles
• Engineered to the rifle’s original factory dimensions and feed geometry
• Compatible with all years of manufacture on supported models
• Fits both bolt action and semi automatic Marlin rimfires
• Also serves several store brand rifles built on the same actions

Specifications and fitment for the Marlin factory 7 round magazine

Among Marlin bolt actions this magazine fits the 25N, 925, 25NC, 980S, 925C, 880SQ, 980V, 880, 917M2 and 995. On the semi automatic side it covers the 70, 70P Papoose, 70HC, 989, 989M-2, 7000 and 7000T, which takes in most of the takedown and plinking rifles that families have handed down for two generations.

Store brand rifles built on those same actions are covered too, including the Glenfield 989G and 70, the Coast to Coast 42 and 440, the WestPoint 701, the Big 5 700 and the Montgomery Ward 45 XT-22 LR. If your rifle wears a hardware store name over a Marlin action, read that list carefully before you assume the gun is orphaned.

Capacity, feed lip profile and body width all follow the factory print, which is why the Marlin factory 7 round magazine seats with the familiar click and drops free without coaxing.

Practical use, care and compatibility

Loading is simple thumb pressure, and the rimfire cartridge rewards a little attention to rim stacking, so let each round settle to the rear of the body as you go. That habit alone eliminates most of the feeding complaints owners blame on the rifle.

Keep the magazine dry rather than oily. Heavy lubricant collects unburned powder and lint, and grit inside the body is the usual reason an old rimfire magazine starts to hesitate. A wipe with a dry patch after each outing is enough for years of service.

Inspect the feed lips occasionally for spread or dings from a hard landing on concrete, and retire any magazine that has been driven over or crushed rather than trying to bend it back. If you are stocking up for more than one rifle, it is worth browsing the rest of our rimfire and pistol magazines in the same order so everything ships together.

A worn or missing magazine should never be the reason a good rifle sits idle. Order the Marlin factory 7 round magazine, drop it in, and your rimfire is back to doing what it has always done best. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
