Does anyone out there know whether or not the magazines for the Winchester Model 88 and Model 100 are interchangeable?

    THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE M-88 MAGAZINE WILL NOT HOLD THE BOLT OPEN AFTER THE LAST SHOT (A PLUS AS FAR AS I'M CONSERNED).

    Wisner's, Inc.

    Wisner's Inc. is a full time machine shop specializing in the manufacture of obsolete firearm parts. We are probably the largest MANUFACTURER of Obsolete Firearm Parts in the WORLD.

    In 1996 we purchased the factory original tooling from Winchester for the model 88 & 100 rifle magazines.

    Late September 2003 we were informed by the original Winchester vendor of the Winchester 88/100 magazines that since they were in large government contracts, the lead time to make stamp out more of our magazines would be about 6 months. This not being practical for us, we have taken actual possession of the tooling & are now having these magazines blanked out, formed & spot welded in Portland Oregon, with product coming to us mid January 2004. This also allows us to work more closely with the vendor. We then do the final machining, black oxiding & final assembly in house. We have improved these magazines in that we have changed the steel to a slightly harder grade, while still being soft enough to be formed, making the magazines less likely to be deformed or damaged. Since original Winchester magazine springs are not available anymore, LeeRoy designed a new spring that can also be used in most bolt action center-fire rifles.
