12borejimbo Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I just received my FAC and am going to be purchasing a marlin 917vs from a forum member and wanted to know where I could get a bigger capacity magazine for the rifle instead of the 5 shot one?

Frenchieboy Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm not saying that you are wrong in wanting a larger capacity mag for your HMR but can I ask why, rather than just buying a spare 5 shot mag instaed. I have yet to come across a situation where more than 5 shots are required in quick succession without having time to change mags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to come across a situation where more than 5 shots are required in quick succession without having time to change mags! Personal opinion of course, but my view entirely, and in addition, when you throw the rifle over your shoulder on the sling the 5 shot doesn't thump you in the Kidney either!!

12borejimbo Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 yeah i didnt want a 25 shot banana mag or it would look like an ak47 but just a couple of ten shot mags to keep in my pocket whilst poodling around the golf course or around the fields ect.

Frenchieboy Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Fair comment mate and as Dekers has said, it's down to "personal preference" which is why I was questioning it rather than faulting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 5 shot? I can only squeeze 4 in my 917 magazine. Happy with that unless zeroing. As Ozzy said,good guns. Mine is the basic 917 but does what it says on the tin and is threaded for mod too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
