This is a US-made, factory-pattern 7-round .22 LR magazine built to the original Marlin 71900 pattern, finished in black oxide. It's manufactured in the USA from US steel and US components and feeds reliably in both bolt-action and semi-automatic Marlin .22 LR rifles.

Own a Marlin 795? It takes a 7- or 10-round .22 LR magazine — this black oxide 71900, the nickel 71901, or one of ARM's two 10-round versions in black oxide or nickel. All are legitimate factory options.
This is a .22 LR magazine. It will not fit a Marlin rifle chambered in .22 WMR or .17 HMR, and a .22 WMR/.17 HMR magazine will not fit here. The two magazine families are not interchangeable.
Every part of this magazine — body, follower, spring, and floor plate — is made to the original Marlin dimensions, so it drops into the magazine well and feeds the way the factory magazine did. Black oxide is a thin conversion coating fused to the steel rather than a paint or plating layer, so it won't chip or flake with normal use, and it matches a blued barrel. Feed geometry and spring tension are what decide whether a round chambers cleanly, which is why we build to the original pattern instead of a generic universal design.

Choosing the right one
Same capacity, different finish: this magazine is black oxide for blued-barrel rifles. If your rifle has a nickel or stainless-look barrel, the 71901 nickel-plated version is the matching finish. If you want more rounds between reloads on the same 70-series or 795 action, ARM also makes 10-round versions in black oxide and nickel.
Magazine capacity limits vary by state. Before you order, check your state's magazine capacity laws.
Frequently asked questions
How many rounds does this magazine hold?
This magazine holds 7 rounds of .22 LR.
Which rifles does this magazine fit?
It fits the Marlin 70-series semi-autos (including the Papoose 70P) and the 25N, 795, 880, 925, 995, and 989 bolt-action and semi-auto models, plus the store-brand equivalents sold as Glenfield, Coast to Coast, WestPoint, Big 5, and Montgomery Ward. Confirm your model number on the left side of the barrel before ordering.
What's the difference between this and the 71901?
Finish only. This magazine is black oxide; the 71901 is nickel-plated. Both hold 7 rounds and fit the same rifles.
Does a Marlin 795 take a 7-round or a 10-round magazine?
Both are legitimate factory options for the 795. This 71900 and the 71901 hold 7 rounds; ARM also makes 10-round black oxide and nickel versions for the same rifle.
Is a 10-round magazine legal in my state?
Magazine capacity laws vary by state. Check your state's rules before ordering.
How do I keep this magazine feeding reliably?
Wipe the exterior down with a dry cloth after range use, check for dirt or powder residue in the feed lips, and avoid over-lubricating — a light coat is enough, since too much oil attracts grit. Inspect the feed lips and follower for bends or damage before you load it, and store it with the spring at rest rather than fully compressed for long periods.
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.
