Kimber Model 82 22LR Magazine

I'm trying to find some more magazines for my Kimber Model 82 22LR. This is the most accurate rifle I've ever owned, but the 4 shot clip needs some backup, especially when hunting squirrels. Anyone out there have any ideas where I could buy some?

Have you called Kimber? They might at least have a location of reserve clips.

I have a 82C Kimber of Oregon that dotes on the Midas "M" ammo. I got a 5 round magazine from Widners in Ohio some years ago - might give them a shout. It protrudes below the stock slightly, but the standard 4 round magazine is annoying when wanting to shoot a 5 shot target.

I had a Winchester M320 for a while, and traded it for a 77/22 when they were introduced. I recall the M82 clips were interchangable, as I think Kimber designed it for WRA.

I have a 1980 Kimber 82 American Classic that came with a 5 shot mag. I also have a nice 10 shot Kimber mag but for the life of me can't remember if it came with the rifle or I bought it later. Both are Kimber mags.

Thanks for the poop! You are exactly correct - Greg Warne of later Kimber built the Winchester 320 on contract from Australia from '72-'74 and kept the clips the same when Kimber produced the Model 82! I got two clips on Gunbroker for the Winchester Model 320 and they work perfectly! I knew there was a reason I joined this forum!!!

Well, I guess the 5+ decades of gun magazines were not a waste of time and money
