The Clip-Rite is a fit-fix accessory for Marlin Model 80 series rifles, not a magazine. It addresses a common Marlin Model 80 problem: magazines that are loose in the magazine well and don't feed well, often because the bottom rivets need filing to fully insert. The Clip-Rite tightens the fit, sets a better magazine angle, and smooths out operation — using the screws that already hold your magazine bottom plate to the stock.

Buying guidance
The Clip-Rite is an accessory, not a magazine — it doesn't hold ammunition, so magazine capacity laws don't apply to it. If your Marlin Model 80 magazine feels loose or feeds poorly and you've already checked that the bottom rivets aren't catching, the Clip-Rite is the fix for that specific issue. It pairs with the magazines already listed above — the 7-round 71903 and the extended-capacity 556 XT-15 and XT-10 — so if you also need a magazine rather than just the fit fix, those are the ones it's designed to tighten.
Installation and care
The Clip-Rite installs with the same screws that already hold your magazine's bottom plate to the stock — remove them, position the Clip-Rite, and reinstall the screws snugly. No drilling or filing is required. Because it's a spring-steel part, wipe it dry after wet range days or field use to keep it from rusting, the same way you'd care for a black oxide magazine finish. Check periodically that the screws are still snug and that the magazine still seats tightly — if it loosens again over time, re-tighten the screws before assuming the Clip-Rite itself has failed.
