Any Northern European or Scandinavian Members Help

My Brother passed a while back and about eight of his rifles go tied up with a crooked estate lawyer and a client who was my Brothers ex Wife. He was a long time guide and wrangler in Wyoming so he had some nice honest well used hunting rifles. After years of haggling with this predatory lawyer and ex friend Wife I ended up with four rifles the others the lawyer got for fees. Anyway two of these rifles were Ithaca LSA 55 in 6 REM and the longer action LSA 65 in 25-06. When I received them neither had the box magazines and I'm sure where they went. Being a guide I know darn well my Brother would have had at least two to three mags with each rifle. So right now both rifles are worthless I can't even load them one round at a time. If anybody here has either of these mags and would be willing to sell I would be more than indebted. I know this is a long shot but nothing ventured ---   Probably should sell em but they were his prized and dependable rifles. I've been beating the brush for over eight months, EBay, Gun Broker, forums, and gun shops and still nothing

But I talked with a old gunsmith friend the other day and he suggested another route. His Daughter married a retired Army officer who was stationed in Germany and moved around a lot through Scandinavia, Sweden, Norway and Finland and said the older Tikka rifles are not too hard to find as are magazines. So if any member here resides over there perhaps they could help me. Below are the two rifles missing three round steel box magazines. If some can be found I can arrange funds for whatever is found and set up shipping to the states

Tikka M-55 and Tikka M-65. The short and long action mags
Also known as the Ithaca LSA-55 and LSA-65 same rifles imported over here 

I realize they may be valuable even over there but I'm prepared

Thanks Rick

Check these people out. I think they make copies of both mags.

There is a member on this forum who lives in Germany. I don't recall his name, but someone surely will.

Val they do make knock-offs but not exactly copies. I ran into a guy last year who bought one for the LSA 55 short action. It was a five or six round mag that extended well below the action floor and UGLY. He bought it as his third magazine and told me he spent a lot of time fitting it to the point it was 1000% workable. He wasn't real happy with the deal given the $ 200.00 plus price. I certainly wouldn't be. So this company is filed under " Final Option " right now. I'd probably be forced to using a single shot mag plug first, heresy

Imagine only having one shot, almost unbelievable to think the firearms world has come no further. And I'm surprised that posting about rifle magazines, the ' antithesis ' of single shot was tolerated here so thanks for your help moderators
