Gibbs detach Mags for M98

DENWA

A while back I bought the Gibbs riflr detachable mag for the 98 mauser.

It fits and loks fine BUT it is the model for the 308 length cases. I need the longer one for 8mm Mauser /30-06 length.

I'm looking at it and it looks like the stop can be removed and the mag follower could be bent down as to not catch on the rebated rim....

Or should I just ask a round for GIBBS phone number and try to replace with the right one....


thanks

Anyone know the contact info for GIBBS rifle?

It would be really nice if members would use a REAL e-mail address instead of some dead address. This is especially inconsiderate when another member is trying to supply the information that the poster requested.

This is a copy of the e-mail I attempted to send to DENWA's dead e-mail address:

DENWA,

I haven't seen any of the Gibbs magazines for a few years. The last batch I saw was being handled by Numrich Arms:

This is the listing I found:

Those should be what you're looking for.

Best.

nononsense,

Sorry about the email address. I've changed it once before to the correct one but it doesn't look like it took. I've changed it again today.

For the record...

Thanks

The follower is shortened also and may bind if you pull the spacer out.
