ISO magazine for JC Higgins 22 bolt action rifle

[Jimmer Negamanee]

My 80 year old neighbor has a J.C. Higgins Model 103.228-22 Cal. bolt action rifle that he purchased new in 1952 (or thereabouts). He's moving into assisted living and wants to give the rifle to his great-granddaughter. The issue is that it's missing the magazine so it's now a single shot.  I did an internet search but couldn't find anyone who had them in stock.  If anyone has any leads, I'd appreciate it.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Your best bet would be to cross reference that model and see who made it. Sears J.C. Higgins rifles are derivatives of  Winchester, Savage, Stevens, Marlin, Mossberg.

Found cross reference. It's a Marlin model 80. Try Jack First, Numrich arms, and Ebay.

Thank you!  (And I'm sorry for double post.)

You're welcome. I found that cross reference in my "Blue Book of Guns" FYI.

If you know what it looks like, might be able to find one at AJI in AJ. Lots of lose magazine bins.

Or post a picture and I'll take a look next time i'm in there
