I bought a couple of the Marlin 22LR mags like the one above maybe 9 months ago for $60-70 each. One just sold on trademe for $124 plus post = $131. Contacted Western Gun Parts in Canada re these mags and they said no they have none but would sell thousands if they could get them. There is a small market here, but poss alot bigger one for some parts overseas.

Applicable to REM 788’s and TOZ 17’s and probably others as well given that there are still a lot of these functioning and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Can’t understand the Ruskies not doing a couple of big runs of TOZ mags. They would all sell in a heartbeat and be easy money for them.
