Hello!
I’ve acquired a 1948 Model 75 Target. It is basically a barn find. It must have had a good clean/oil before it was left and most of the metal is ok but some areas worse than others, some pitting, I’ve done some cold blueing in the past so I think it will look great with some work. The wood looks bad but appears will respond well to refurbishment. Inside the receiver and the bolt itself looks great. Drum roll…. The bore looks perfect! And it shoots great, well, great for me, after a couple of dry patches, it put 5 CCI mini-mags into a nickel at 25 yds, I feel like it will do better, looks like the muzzle crown has a problem as it’s just a flat muzzle face, I see a target crown in its future. All parts present and correct but missing the magazine.
Can the forum please suggest some sources for magazines? Is the magazine common to other Models such as the 52, 57, 69 or others?
Any other comments welcome!
Thank you!

eBay usually is loaded with mags. Of course there are different stamping versions on the bottom of the plate, so if you want one that corresponds to 1948, you’ll have to poke around. I’d have to check which stamp would be period for that time frame. What is the s/n. But yes, the mags are basically the same if you just want to shoot.
