NYCJUAN,

It is a shame that you have to jump through so many hoops & watch your step all of the time, just to exercise your rights.[V][:(!][V][:(!]

Have you tried looking for the magazines for the original, RUSSIAN version, the TOZ-78? Here is one of those rifles:

EDIT: Here is what the 2008 WINCHESTER parts catalog, page 65, part #25, says:

http://media.winchesterguns.com/pdf/parts/2008_winchester_parts_pricelist.pdf

"25 ** U2500048 MAGAZINE ASSY 10 ROUND $30.00
25 ** U2500049 MAGAZINE ASSY 5 ROUND $30.00

**Factory installation only - Return firearm for installation."

So, I guess you were not lied to. I find it strange that a mass-produced magazine would need factory fitting to properly work in a mass-produced rifle. At $30.00 a pop, Winchester ought to pay for shipping both ways.[;)]

I wonder what happened to the 10 round magazines that came with your rifle? If they are custom fit, they wouldn't fit in any other rifle.

If the dealer has 'em still ask him to put a permament block in 'em to hold only 5

forget that dude, centerfiresystems has the mags you want for like 10 bucks each... you may need to fit them but all you have to do is file a litle plastic off of the front of the mag where the factory filled a little... you will see where... or you may get lucky and they just drop in... if you have any questions shoot me a message.

cccp15,

Thanks for that information. Here they are:

http://www.centerfiresystems.com/winchesterwildcat.aspx

http://www.centerfiresystems.com/MAG-TULATOZ01.aspx

5-round magazine:

Price: $9.99
Part Number: MAG-TULA TOZ 01

...except, they are:

"This item is Out of Stock and is NOT available for backorders."

...but, the 10-round magazine is in stock:

http://www.centerfiresystems.com/MAG-TULATOZ02.aspx

Price: $14.99
Part Number: MAG-TULA TOZ 02

It appears that there has been a run on the 5-round magazines. Still, NYCJuan, I would call Centerfire Systems, and ask them if they have any in stock:
