I need an inner magazine tube 24″ complete assembly for a 22 cal 1873.
Original or reproduction. I would buy a parts gun just for this part.

A parts gun is unlikely to be a good source as the magazine was one of the first things to go on these guns.
Having an existing magazine repaired is another option. That’s what I did with mine. Any gunsmith who is going to take on a job like this has to be familiar with the Model ’73/.22 or have an example to follow.
Your best bet might be to find a custom-made replacement part, if you can. There are two sources that I know of.
Homestead Parts lists the inner magazine for the Model ’73/.22 as Part No. mt16 but the website says they are currently out-of-stock. The price is $275. You can leave your contact information and Homestead will contact you when (and if) they have them again. At least, that’s what their website says. I attached the link below.
Winchester Bob is the other source. They list the inner magazine for your rifle as part # W73095. The website says the part is in stock and the price is $350. I attached the link and a screenshot of the part listing.
With any luck 1873man will reply to you too. He’s very knowledgeable about the Model ’73 in .22 rimfire.
Good luck, Chuck. Let me know if this works out.
