I need a magazine for my win. model 77. Does anyone know if the aftermarket clips work right or not ? I`ve read bad and good reviews. Any brands better than others ? Thanks, E

pro or con, thanks,dnn
Are you referring to a Model 77[?] If so, it was an experimental design only, and it never went into regular production. If you have one of them (or know the whereabouts of one), then hang on to it... it is worth serious $$$S to a diehard Winchester collector. The following is quoted directly from one of my reference documents;
"The Winchester Model 77 rifle was authorized on December 12, 1941, for development as a target practice rifle for the United States Marine Corps. Due to the pressure of other defense work, Winchester did not accept a contract for the manufacture of a quantity of these rifles. Only a few sample rifles were manufactured for exibition and test purposes." end quote
The features of the Model 77 were as follows;
Type - Semi-automatic repeating rifle, detachable box magazine, solif frame.
Barrel - 24-inch, round heavy
Chamber - 22 Long Rifle
Magazine - Detachable box magazine holding 8 cartridges
Stock - Military style, equipped with a 1 1/4-inch army style leather sling strap
Sights - Target

thanks bert and joe
Bert...double check? I think you looking at a different model...not the 77 22 semi auto? They were made from 1955-1963 and produced 217,000 in excellent cond. maybe $300 usually around a $200 gun in nice shape. Can be a little fussy with ammo.
Hello Joe...
The rifle I described above was/is the first Winchester Model 77. It was late last night when I replied, and most of my references list only the Models made through WW II. I did not stop to think about the later made Model 77s before writing my previous post[:I]
