Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Broadsword, those are 7-round mags for a 1958-1960 Mossberg 350K semi-auto, my first rifle. It was used when given to me on my 12th birthday in 1963. I still have it, of course. Any semi auto then was a plinker, not a serious target rifle. The Eley was probably for a bolt action target rifle, like my Savage Anschutz Match 54.

Do you need a couple of spares? I'd be happy to send them to you. No charge.Originally Posted by Hummer

Well, sure, that's very nice! PM incoming. I have the original 7-round mag and later picked up a 10-rounder. And I know there were some 15-shot mags made later. That style magazine was used on a few Mossberg models around the time but I'd be surprised if there are many working examples of the rifles left as they were prone to breaking firing pins. The attachment to the bolt was machined too thin for a semi auto. I replaced pins several times and the last remanufactured ones I got from Numrich/Gun Parts were defective. I have one left.
