Hi all, my dad pulled an old family hand me down .22 pump action out of a closet this past weekend and found it shooting pretty well. He called me tonight saying there was an issue with the magazine and asking if I could help him track down a replacement for the rod that seals the tube mag.

All I've been able to determine so far is that its an old Ranger, built by Savage but branded as a store gun (Sears maybe?). The serial number is 142152K. A quick look around indicated that Brownells might carry a mag tube that fits, part number 895-871-600...can anyone tell me more about the rifle, and if that mag would work? Or at least point us in a better direction?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!
