Description
Finding quality magazines for vintage High Standard .22 rimfire pistols can be a real challenge, which is why this Triple-K 490M magazine has become the go-to choice for owners of Sport King, Field King, and Supermatic models. Triple-K Manufacturing has been producing replacement magazines for hard-to-find firearms for decades, and this magazine shows that expertise.
The 490M is built with a steel body and constructed to near-original specifications for late-model High Standard pistols with non-military grip frames. It holds 10 rounds of .22 LR ammunition and features a high-visibility green polymer follower so you can easily see how many rounds you have loaded. The magazine includes a convenient side-facing loading tab that helps compress the follower when loading, making it quicker and easier to fill the mag without sore fingers.
You'll notice the flush-fitting baseplate and overall design closely resemble the original factory magazine, so it looks right at home with your pistol. The magazine comes ready to use, though some owners report minor feed lip tuning may improve compatibility with specific guns. It's the kind of practical accessory that gets regular use at the range or while plinking, and it works well for sport shooting or casual target practice.
