760 magazine question

[4570GOVT]

Does anyone know when the magazines for 760's changed from the style with the hole in the side to the solid side? My guess is the mid 1950's but I am trying to find out which year.

I'm not sure whether this will definitively "answer" your question, but I remembered this question being asked before and did a forum Search on it. Here's the link:

Which style would be correct for a March 1954 270. I have seen articles that indicate the 270 was chambered in 1953(Old style) and others indicated 1954(New Style)?

Thanks, any thoughts on a source for an early style 270 magazine? I have tried the usual suppliers without success. One "expert" said that they didn't make the 270 magazine with the hole, yet another reason for my previous question.

I have the same question. My 760 in .270 Win has barrel code K A U serial # 2052XX, which I believe was manufactured in May 1954. It only has one magazine, and I would like to get a few more for the range. Is this considered early, 2nd version, or 3rd version? It has a vertical indentation or rib on each side, & a small hole at the bottom of each end. Attaching pictures for clarification. I realize this is an old post, & might not get seen. Thanks in advance for any help.
