Remington-Lee 1899

Post by dondone »

Can anyone tell me if the magazines for the 6mm Lee Navy and .30-40 cartridges interchange? What I mean is will one feed the other?

My situation is that I have a Rem-Lee 6mm Lee Navy sporter rifle that came with a magazine for shorter rounds such as .30-30, .32-40, etc.

I'm thinking that I checked fit and function a number of years back when I had an 1899 in .30-40, and that the 6mm rounds fed OK from the .30-40 mag. (But...That was a long time ago and my memory ain't so good anymore.)

Any feedback about this will be greatly appreciated, and perhaps some of you can steer me to a correct mag.

(Also, since the current mag is of no use to me, I would be more than happy to trade for the correct one, if you need it.) :)
