Triple K mags do not have a very good reputation across the board. If you need/want a mag for your Kimber the only option is a Kimber magazine.

Did you try the 5 or the 10 round mags?
Ok, I just ordered a round mag. for a test run.
I have a few files and a nice rechargeable Dremel!

5 round

 

Remember that Winchester 320 magazines will work in the Kimber 82. The only downside is that they don’t fit flush and protrude appx 3/16” from the floor plate. Many times, especially on eBay, I’ve seen them advertised as real Kimber magazines, the instant giveaway is they have black plastic followers while real Kimber mags have either chromed brass or aluminum followers.
They function fine, in fact in my estimation the plastic followers slide more easily, especially in the 10 round versions.

 

An online search shows the 5-round Winchester 320 mag almost non-existent, though the 10-round mag appears here and there. It may be almost as hard or harder to find than a Kimber mag (though the latter will probably cost a good bit more).

For some reason, I’ve always seen 320 mags at gunshows, usually for about 1/2 what a Kimber brings. The interchangeability with 82 mags has probably enhanced their demand as in actuality they didn’t make a lot of 320 rifles.

 

Jack Warne was Australian and wasn't the Winchester 320 also Australian? Did he have anything to do with the 320? The comparable mags (and maybe some other similarities with the Kimber) seems an unlikely accident.

Warne owned Sportco Australia but sold out about 5-6 years before the Winchester 320. The 320 and Kimber 82 both share the same magazines as some Sportco models. The 320 action, and possibly the barreled actions were made in Australia. The 320 is a great little rifle for hunting, plinking, and field carry. Lighter than a Kimber and a notch lower in quality. I used to have one. Will have another if the right deal comes along.
Warne History (warnescopemounts.com)

 

Mr. Warne actually designed a line of rifles under the Sportco name and sold them in Australia. At some point he manufactured actions, both single shot and magazine fed and contracted them for sale to Winchester and exported them to the US where they were barreled and stocked with American parts and sold as the 310 and 320. They used internal parts common to the Sportco and even a few that fit an 82, including the keyhole magazine.
They are decently made rifles although not quite on par with a Kimber. I think every Kimber collection should include one.

 

I received an extra 5 round mag with the purchase of my original Yonkers Custom classic. Over the years, I have used the extra mag as collateral to purchase homes, land and vehicles due to it’s astronomical appreciation rate. When the Yellowstone Ranch finally goes on the sell block, I should be able to trade even. Who’d a thunk it?

 

smart man!

 

I could be misremembering, but I’m pretty sure that Winchester 75 mags will work.

 

I think Winchester mags will work but you have to grind the bump off the right side and then properly locate and file in the notches on the back.
I think it’s just easier and cheaper to buy Wisner made magazines for the Remington 500 series rifles from Brownell’s.

 

The Wisner made mags can be purchased directly from Wisnerinc.com for $20. and are in stock at this time.

 

I got curious and had to go through my junk boxes- it is a Winchester 300 series that I bought for mine probably 25 years ago. It didn’t need any fiddling, slipped right in and worked in my Kimber.

 

Red, if you are talking Win 320, those mags slip right into a Kimber 82. The K22 uses a Remington style mag.

 

Yes, for a Kimber 82. The box only says “300 series”.

 

The Win. 320 mags tend to stick out of the floorplate a little (1/8 to 1/4"), but they do generally work.
