What Magazine Fits a Marlin 795?
The Marlin 795 uses a 7-round .22 LR magazine — the same 71900 (black oxide) or 71901 (nickel) magazine that fits Marlin's Model 70-series autoloaders. If you own a 795 and need a spare or a replacement, this is the magazine to reach for. Here's how to confirm the fit and pick the right finish.
Quick answer
The Marlin 795 takes the 71900 (black oxide) or 71901 (nickel) 7-round .22 LR magazine. The same magazine fits the closely related Model 70, 70P (Papoose), 70HC, and 795-family autoloaders. Looking for higher capacity? Contact us and we'll confirm what's available for your rifle.

The magazine that fits the Marlin 795
The Marlin 795 is a semi-automatic .22 LR — one of the most popular plinking and small-game rifles Marlin ever built. It feeds from a detachable 7-round box magazine, and the correct replacement is the 71900 (ARM580) magazine, built in the USA to the factory pattern for reliable feeding. We make it in black oxide as the 71900 and in nickel as the 71901 — same magazine, your choice of finish.
Other rifles that share the 795 magazine
Because Marlin's later .22 autoloaders share a common magazine pattern, the same 71900/71901 magazine fits a wide family of rifles beyond the 795:
- Marlin autoloaders: 70, 70P (Papoose), 70HC, 70L, 70PSS, 989, 989M-2, 7000, 7000T, XT-22
- Marlin bolt-actions of the same era: 25N, 880, 880SS, 925, 980, 995, 995SS
If you own more than one Marlin .22 from this generation, there's a good chance they all take the same magazine. See the complete list in Every Marlin Model That Fits Our Magazines.
Black oxide or nickel?
Feeding is identical between the two finishes; the choice is durability and looks. Black oxide (71900) is the classic matte finish. Nickel (71901) is brighter and adds a bit of corrosion resistance — a nice touch if your 795 lives in a truck or sees damp weather. There's a fuller comparison in our guide to black oxide vs nickel magazines.
Confirm your rifle before you order
Check that the model number stamped on your barrel reads 795 (or one of the compatible models above) and that the caliber is .22 LR. If your rifle is a .22 Magnum or your model isn't listed, send us the details and we'll point you to the right magazine. Not sure how the 795 compares to the older bolt-gun magazines? Our 71900 vs 71903 guide lays out the difference.
Key takeaways
- The Marlin 795 uses the 71900 (black oxide) or 71901 (nickel) 7-round .22 LR magazine.
- The same magazine fits the Model 70-series autoloaders and later bolt guns like the 880 and 925.
- Finish is your choice — feeding is identical.
