This is a US-made, factory-pattern 4-round magazine for Marlin bolt-action rifles chambered in .22 WMR or .17 HMR, finished in black oxide. It's made from heat-treated steel with a steel follower and metal floor plate — a compact, flush-fitting option for hunters and target shooters who don't need extended capacity.

This is a .22 WMR/.17 HMR magazine. It will not fit a Marlin .22 LR rifle, and a .22 LR magazine will not fit a rifle chambered in .22 WMR or .17 HMR. The two magazine families are not interchangeable.
Why the exact fit matters
A magazine that's close but not quite right causes the two most common magazine problems: rounds that don't feed cleanly, and a magazine that won't drop free or lock in place. Because this magazine is manufactured to the original Marlin factory pattern — not scaled or estimated from a generic blank — the feed lips, follower geometry, and latch dimensions match what your rifle was built around. That's the difference between a magazine that works every time and one that needs to be "worked in."

Choosing the right one
A factory OEM replacement like this reduces the chance of jamming or misfeeding compared with a third-party aftermarket magazine. If 4 rounds isn't enough for how you shoot, the same fit is also available as a 7-round black oxide magazine or a 10-round black oxide magazine. Prefer nickel? See the 4-round nickel version.
Care and installation
Insert the magazine until the catch clicks and confirm it's seated before you chamber a round. Wipe down the exterior and follower periodically, especially after a wet range day or a hunt — even a corrosion-resistant finish benefits from basic upkeep. For a full rundown on cleaning and storing your magazines between seasons, see our Rifle & Magazine Care and Maintenance guide. If you still have questions about fit after checking the model number on your barrel, contact us and we'll help you match it.
Magazine capacity limits vary by state, and some states cap magazine capacity regardless of caliber. Before you order, check your state’s magazine capacity laws.
Frequently asked questions
How many rounds does this magazine hold?
This magazine holds 4 rounds of .22 WMR or .17 HMR.
Will this fit a Marlin .22 LR rifle?
No. This is a .22 WMR/.17 HMR magazine only. It will not fit a Marlin rifle chambered in .22 LR.
Which Marlin models does this magazine fit?
It fits Marlin bolt-action models 882SS, 982S, 882, 982, 25MN, 925M, 782, 25M, 980, 17V, 917V, 17VS, 917VS, and XT-22 WMR. Confirm your model number on the left side of the barrel before ordering.
Why choose a 4-round magazine instead of 7 or 10?
A 4-round magazine sits flush with the stock, which some hunters prefer for a lower profile in the field. If you want more rounds between reloads, we also carry 7-round and 10-round versions in the same fit.
Is this a genuine factory-pattern magazine?
Yes. It's manufactured in the USA to the original Marlin factory pattern from US steel and US components, not an imported copy.
Do you sell to dealers or in bulk?
Yes. See our wholesale purchasing page for terms.
