Did Marlin ever produce a tube fed auto loader in 22mag? I googled and searched Marlin's site and didn't turn up what I was looking for. I have found magazine fed auto loaders and tube fed bolt rifles. ???

To the best of my knowledge, nope.

Only thing that was close was the clip-mag marlin 922. That's the only Semi-auto Marlin .22WMR I know of.

Reportedly they were pretty good lil rifles, based on the Camp 9 action.

The only good-working .22WMR Semi-auto was the Grendel line...P-30, P-31, & R-31. I own all three. :) I want MORE!
Took a little tweaking like a Model 60 does, but they all cycle perfectly now.

Ruger made a 10/22Magnum, but has dropped the line for the 6th time...still having issues with failing to cycle.

The AMT Automag-II sucked...and still reportedly has the same problems since High Standard started making them.

The only other option is the Excel Accelerator Rifle & Pistol, niether of which I've been able to test.
But they sure look nice :D

Everything else that has come out in Semi Auto in a .22WMR has FAILED MISERABLY.

I did a auction check on 'em...

Some guy tried to sell one at $549, it didn't sell, so he's relisted it at $625...

The 10-round Magazines are even harder to find than Grendel's 30-rounders, according to some boards.
Although it does look nice :)

I gladly paid $495 for mine 7 years ago, as-NIB. from an estate sale. The magazines are trading for $60 to $100 each at auction but cheaper retail. I bought four of them shortly after buying my rifle (two 6-rounders and two 10 rounders) and I expect them to last forever.

These rifles are slicker then slick. The bolt is "under hung" so the throw is short the rifle barely quivers during the bolt cycling. It's really a fine rig.they are a take-down and I have mine in a luggage style case meant for a shotgun. (sweet.) ~Andrew

Welcome to Marlin Owners Tim? from NE In.
I have about zero interest in 22 Mags but I think there are a Butt ton of ones on the market since 2009.
Others will be along to remind you this is a 14 YO post, just ignore them. Hopefully someone knows about your model numbers.
You may be able to find the Model number by checking GunPartscorp aka Numrich. By looking up by manufacturer, auto loaders, etc.
