Help Identify this Magazine

[UnionMillsNW]

A family member recently had me sort through their former spouse's firearm collection. I found this magazine which didn't belong to any gun in the collection. It appears to be for a 22LR. The family member had a vague recollection of another gun but couldn't find it or remember what it was...
Does anyone know where it belongs?

Can you post a better image, how long is it? Looks like a pistol of some sort and a strait vertical which should narrow it down quite a bit, especially as .22 Rimmed needs to stack in a taper, or as this mag looks, a funky guide pressed into it's sides to allow vertical stacking! First guess would be some sort of 1911 type conversion, or one of those Excel Arms .22's

Will need a few more pics (both sides, front, back), plus length and any markings. Look on the top of the floorplate where your little finger would rest. Some manufacturers stamped there.

Check out the Savage/Stevens/Springfield image. It most resembles #4 and #5, which according to the page, is a Model 1903, 1906,1909 (#4) or Savage 19 (#5)

Looks a little long for .22 LR, maybe .22 Mag? That would then most likely be ether an AMT Automag .22 Mag, or the Excel arms Accelerator most likely!

The grooving and indentations really look a lot like the Savage 1903/1906/1909 pump 22lr magazines

Just so's yall know.. this is what the rifle looked like. @UnionMillsNW ; did anyone in your family recall a somewhat unusual looking pump .22 rifle?

Looks longer then any .22 rifle mag I have seen outside a 10/22!

Look at the patent drawings in this link; it clearly shows the .22 rounds as not taking up the full length of the magazine

Wow. That is some good detective work. I think we are on the right path, although so far I haven't seen a 100% match.

Here are some more pictures. 1911 mag for size comparison and I loaded a 22LR in the mystery mag

Looks like Camo might be right after all!
The size comparison helps!
