I recently purchased a Model 1903 that will require parts and a lot of TLC.  Haven’t even got my hands on it however I know I need the inside magazine tube for starters.  Anybody know where I could find one?  Is this tube common to any other models? 

Thanks,

Jim

Because it is .22 Win Auto the inside magazine tube is unique to the 1903.  The 63 magazine tube looks similar but the diameter is smaller for .22 long rifle.

Try Wendel at Outback Gunparts, he usually has some.

EBay is another option but just make sure it is a 1903 and not a 63 magazine tube.

JWA,

I have used several of these stores but you have added a few to my collection.  Also thanks for the heads-up on the mag tube.
