Got this one just cause it was strange. Any Idea what i may fit??

Seems to be backwards in appearance. Only thing I could find that fits is a 30 Carbine (4 shots). Doesn't appear to be home made.

Reminiscent of a Marlin M-62 but...

Metal with alloy or aluminum base. Stamped 4822 on the bottom. I suspect .32 caliber? Any thoughts on what it goes to?

This is a WAG? I have seen Winchester 1905 SL mags. With a round hole in the same approximate position.

Any chance it's a homemade mag, for the 1905, 32 SL Winchester cartridge.

I seem to remember that the 30 carbine, was based on the 32 SL Winchester.

Not a Win 1905 for sure.
Doesn't look to be hand made. Of course, not sure it is a 30 Carbine (it just fits)

I've been all thru my reference books on foreign and domestic rifles and can't seem to find anything close.

With the notch in the feedlips I would suspect it is either for a rimmed cartridge or a rimfire cartridge of some sort.

I just checked my Marlin 62 and it doesn't match. The open cut in the top back edge of the mag coupled with a nub on the follower makes me think it should hold open a bolt on its final shot, meaning a semi rifle?

I remember seeing a m1 carbine knockoff years ago that took non standard mags.

Savage Sporter????????

Kinda has the Savage look, like the 340 magazines. Sporter in 25-20 or 32-20 maybe?????

Sako made the L 42, a obscure bolt action rifle right after the war. It was chambered for the 7 X 33 cartridge.

The mags in the below photo are for the Sako L 46. A latter produced rifle, in 222. But the mags appear in construction, similar to the one in your photos. Any thoughts that the mag you have is for a L 42 Sako in 7 X 33?
