    Although it's marked Browning, it looks awful crude with those spotwelds.

    Browning's first generation Buckmark mags were specifically made to work in both the Buckmark, and the earlier US manufactured Challenger II & III models. They didn't look anything at all, like yours. Also they would actuate the slide stop, after the last shot was fired. My WAG is that you got a aftermarket magazine made by Triple K, or some other manufacturer.

    Browning .22 pistols utilized the European type of heel magazine release. Between the early 1960's. When the Belgian made Metalist, Challenger and Nomads were marketed. Until the mid 1980's, when the U.S. made Challenger III, went out of production.

    The Buckmark, circa 1985 used a mag release on the side of the frame. This required a machined notch in the side of the mag body.

    Since the mag in the photos has this notch. Whoever made it, put it into production after 1985. The first generation Browning made Buckmark magazines, that were able to also function in the Challenger(s). Looked totaly different than the mag in the photos.

    Anybody else have an opinion on this? I was thinking about a giveaway, but don't know for sure (100%) what it is. I appreciate your input rufe-snow!
