Belt Holder for Remington 597 Magazines

thingiverse

Days out shooting with a .22 are made much more enjoyable when loaded magazines are easily accessible. The Remington 597 is a fine gun, but lacks the aftermarket accessories of the Ruger 10/22. I have searched for a nice leather belt holder for a couple of 597 magazines and, save for a custom order, have found none available. Instead, I have created this. Like with my "Belt Shell Holder for 12 gauge & .223 Rem/9mm" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3740717), I have used a portion of WaveSupportApparatus' belt loop from his "Comfortable Leatherman Wave belt holster" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1065346). It's a great design and holds my Leatherman perfectly. Give it a look if you haven't already. 1. Always use a firearm responsibly (https://www.nssf.org/safety/rules-firearms-safety/). 2. This holder fits two 10-round magazines for the Remington 597, which is enough ammo to seriously perforate a soup can. 3. It fits a 1 3/4 inch (45mm) belt perfectly. 4. This holder holds my magazines to my liking with just the right amount of spring tension. If you do a lot of action-packed shooting while plinking with your .22 rifle, consider scaling it down a bit for more spring tension. Much further than that and the magazines won't fit properly.
