Marlin Store-Brand Rebrands: Glenfield, JC Higgins, Sears & More
For decades Marlin built .22 rifles that were sold under other store brands. If you own one, it’s mechanically a Marlin — find the equivalent Marlin model in the chart above and use the same magazine. The most common case: the Glenfield Model 25 is the Marlin Model 25, so it takes the same #71903 magazine.
- Glenfield — Marlin’s own store line (Glenfield 20 / 25 / 80 = Marlin 20 / 25 / 80, same magazine)
- Sears / JC Higgins — .22 rifles built by Marlin for Sears
- Western Auto, Coast to Coast, Montgomery Ward, WestPoint, Big 5 — Marlin-built store brands; match your model to the equivalent Marlin above

Marlin Model 60? It’s tube-fed and doesn’t use a detachable magazine — there is no box magazine to buy for it.
Marlin Magazine FAQ
What magazine fits a Marlin 795?
The Marlin 795 takes a factory .22 LR box magazine in 7-round (71900 black oxide / 71901 nickel) or 10-round — both are legitimate factory options. The same magazine fits the Model 70, 70P (Papoose), 70HC, 989, and 7000 semi-autos. Choose your capacity and finish based on how you shoot.
Does a Marlin Model 60 take a magazine?
No. The Marlin Model 60 is tube-fed and does not use a detachable box magazine, so there is no clip or magazine to buy for it. Only the box-fed Marlin models in the chart above take a detachable magazine.
Are Marlin .22 magazines interchangeable across models?
Within a family, yes. The 71900 / 71901 magazine (7-round or 10-round) fits the 70-series semi-autos including the 795, plus the 25N, 880, 925, and 995 bolt-actions. The 71903 (7-, 10-, or 15-round) fits the older 20, 25, 80, 780, and 781 bolt-actions. Rifles in .22 WMR or .17 HMR use a different magazine entirely. Match your exact model before ordering.
What is the difference between the Marlin 71900 and 71903 magazine?
The 71900 / 71901 fits the Model 70-series semi-autos (including the 795) and later bolt guns like the 880 and 925. The 71903 fits the older 20, 25, 80, 780, and 781 bolt-actions. They are not interchangeable, so confirm your model number before choosing.
What magazine does a Glenfield Model 25 use?
The Glenfield Model 25 is mechanically the Marlin Model 25, so it uses the same #71903 magazine. Marlin built rifles under several store brands — Glenfield, Sears, JC Higgins, Western Auto and others — and each maps to an equivalent Marlin model that shares the same magazine.
What magazine fits a Marlin chambered in .22 WMR or .17 HMR?
Marlin rimfire magnums such as the 25M, 25MN, 882, 917V, 925M, and 982 use the .22 WMR / .17 HMR magazine, available in 4-, 7-, and 10-round capacities. The semi-automatic 922M uses its own dedicated 7-round .22 WMR magazine.
