Remington 521T magazine

[J&J]

Recently inherited one of these. It was in horrible condition, rust, gunk , you name it. Got it good an clean and took it out to shoot last weekend. Shoots great, save for a once or twice a magazine load failure to feed. Basically the nose of the round sits up too high and as the bolt is pushed forward, the nose of the round catches on the top of the camber. It is easy to pushthe round down and finish locking the bolt. The rifle soots great

I remember reading somewhere that you can use some more recently manufactured magazines from other Remington 22's. Does anyone know what mags work in this rifle. Is there anything I can do to the one mag I have to make it feed right?

Also do you know what scope rings I can use for it?

Thanks

John

J&J,

That's a fine rimfire rifle you've inherited. Your restoration work will be paid back to many, many times by the fun with the 521T.

You're in luck with the magazines.

Midway: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=698420

Numrich: http://www.e-gunparts.com/productschem.asp?chrMasterModel=0860z521T and then look for the magazines.

On your rings question, I use a standard Burris low mount 1 inch ring.

Best of luck, and report back with a range report.

Wow, thanks John MCL. I really appreciate the info. The magazine was the only issue we had when shooting it with my son last weekend. It has an amazing balance and feel to it. I do not really care for the lyman rear adjustable sight on it, with the wide v notch, but that might be because I have never had a rifle with that sight. If I can mount a scope it will be my new go to squirrel gun for sure.

Just ordered a new magazine from midway, as you directed.

Thanks again.

John
