After my last post and link to the repro Sako mags, I was looking at the pic of their magazine and I thought it looked familiar to me. I checked my box of strange and wonderful magazines and came up with this one. I think this is a SAKO!?

It's missing the follower and spring plus there is a third small sheet metal plate that goes down inside under the spring first with a detent bump on it that holds the floor plate on. It is slightly bent on the top left side as you can see in the rear view pic. It's marked for cal222 Magnum. It has the box that attaches to the action with it also. (Upsidedown in the pic with relation to the mag)

If you can use it it's yours for free. I've had it for probably 25 years, time for someone to make use of it!

See what you think from the pics here and in the link in the post above. I think the follower is flat with a guide tab at either end and the spring is probably just 3 or 4 full loop wire spring,,, maybe a 'z' flat spring. Perhaps a spring & follower from another mag like a Savage Sporter or Winchester 43 could be made to fit it or something made up. Can't think of any single stack MilSurp 223 or similar cal mags that would yield a follower and piece of a spring but there may be one.
