need help- Interarms 22 ATD

[pwl44m]

My Neighbor has an Interarms 22 atd with a broken Mag Tube. He dropped the Gun and snapped the tube off in the receiver. He got the short piece out but needs a new tube. I have searched the net to no avail. Can't even find anyone that has parts for interarms atd. If U could help with a web site or anything that would help Me get the part it would be greatly appreciated. Do I understand correctly that interarms is now Rossi ? I have searched for Rossi also.

Hi Perry,
Interarms was just the importer. That gun was a copy of the Browning Semi Auto 22 made in China exported here by Norinco. Parts are out there and some of the Browning parts will work, but I don't know which.

I did find this?

Thx Nate, now the only question is will the Browning Outer Mag tube work on the interarms. If the guy wants to pay for it I will order it. $19.99 plus $7.95 shipping. Pretty simple operation to install.

Sarco carries the Norinco ATD-22 parts, including the outer magazine tube (pt# ATD048)

Thx Pete, went to that site and they don't list the tube for sale. It is shown in the diagram but not in the price list.

Might require some ingenuity but brownells sells basic ones that people adapt.

Thx Mescalero, I found the one at Brownells for a Browning, didn't see anything else listed.

I've got one and have a question. On the Browning the cartridge guide spring has a leg that fits into a hole in the receiver to retain it. On my ATD there is no hole and the leg of the spring is pointed down toward the bolt. What is yours like?
Got mine at a gun show for $50 and the PO said it wouldn't feed consistently. When I took it apart everything inside was yellow with cosmoline.
Cleaned out the cosmoline and it feeds fine.

FWIW, It's been my experience that some companies de-list whatever, as if not available, when their inventory runs too low to be bothered - even though there may still be 1 or 2 of whatever left in the part bins.

I would suggest you either call or email Sarco with your wants before giving up on them.

Additionally, I've found that when I actually contact a company, if they really don't have what I want, they will sometimes refer me to anouther source.

...because http://www.mmgunsmithing.com/ used to be the warranty repair center for INTERARMS, and they still handle a lot of their parts:

M&M Gunsmithing is a shop offering a full line of gunsmithing services.
Our gunsmith is a graduate of the Pennsylvania School who was employed as a gunsmith at Interarms for nearly 15 years and has vast experience with their firearms (Rossi, Star, Walther, Mark X, Astra, Va.

Thx Shawn, I sent Them an e-mail.
@ williamranks, I haven't seen the inside of the Gun yet. If I get the part for Him I will try to remember to check on that unless Someone else can address Ur question.

Got an e-mail from M&M, He makes the tubes. $30+$7.95sh+$3 credit card use. I will see what the Guy wants to do. Thx Shawn for the link.
One little kink, M&M says it needs to be fitted and installed by a competent Gunsmith for safety and function ! Anybody know one in Marysville ?
