So many rifle owners want the reliability and strength of a metal magazine for their rifle. But now days, they want more - larger capacity, longer OAL and long wearing. AND, they don't want to make modifications to obtain their needs. Waters Rifleman may be able to help...allowing shooters to achieve a complete magazine solution. - Many solutions and designs are drop in fit, meaning no modification require (refer to each instance for confirmation in case an item is not drop in fit). - Made of light weight aircraft grade billet aluminium, hard black anodised (not regular decorative anodise) finish (may be some variation in colour from batch to batch) and lightweight plastics. - Mags utilise the rifle receiver feed ramp for reliable feeding angles. - Can be disassembled for easy cleaning and maintenance (recommended). - Reliable tempered Stainless Steel coil spring activating a POM injection moulded OR an or ABS printed follower. - Deep side wall followers to reduce tipping and jamming (stove piping) and increase feeding reliability. - Rounds staggered as much as possible for reduced mag depth. NOTE: While not specifically necessary, we do recommend a light application of dry lube be applied internally after cleaning to ensure longevity and the best possible operation.
FIT & FUNCTION: These magazines are made for the fastidious shooter that wants the BEST match grade AND MATCH WINNING magazine available. Likewise, shooters of the Waters Rifleman mags are expected to have a basic understanding of how magazines work - understanding tolerances, temperature change, round stacking geometry, etc. This is precision equipment, and precision equipment should be maintained.

DOESN'T FIT. There have been the odd occasion where a shooter magazine will not latch/click in place easily. We believe this is due to an intolerance of the rifle stock during moulding, or possibly swelling from moisture, or by over tightening of the stock take-down screws, or a number of other things. Also, some shooters are bedding their receivers, which increases the receiver height from the floor of the stock. Our mags are made to factory spec plus or minus 0.1mm, and from billet aluminium that won't suffer post machining change, Click here for WR MAGAZINE ASSEMBLY and MAINTENANCE USER GUIDE.
TIGHT IS BEST: Ensuring a tight and solid fit keeps your repeater rifle close in performance as a bolt action single shot rifle. Tight and solid assembly and fixing keeps harmonic vibration even through the whole rifle system, and helps dampen the vibration quicker and minimise unwanted vibrations.
MARKING AND SACRIFICE: This magazine is made of metal. Metal on metal will always result in witness marks. Use of the WR mag will result in witness marks on the aluminium magazine body. This is always going to happen, and is preferred to protect undue wear in the more expensive rifle receiver and other undesired areas. The sacrificial wear areas are the front latch tang, rear top flat where mating the trigger front tension leaf spring, and the top rear pivot corners. Witness marks can be marked over with black.

Used to make single round loading the rifle easy. Lightweight synthetic material coming in at 75grams.NOTE: These units are made as a tight fit, to make a repeater rifle perform like a single shot. The release lever tang is made slightly over-length to allow for previous wear and rifles that are compound bedded that builds thickness causing lose magazines. If the block does not clip in, simply file off 0.1mm increments from the SRLB tang until it clips in and out to your satisfaction (but it should be a tight fit).
