Exclamation Alpine Model Sporter

My grandfather passed down a rifle to me called the Firearms Co. Alpine Model Sporter, which is a .270 WIN. Unfortunately, it did not come with a clip (and is somewhat slow to load because of this). I am wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction to find a clip for this rifle. I have looked online, and have been unsuccessful thus far.

An Alpine with a clip style magazine?
Every one I ever saw had a hinged floor plate!
It may have a Parker Hale detachable magazine well fitted to it.

Ive owned several and all were hinged floorplate.

Can the OP post a picture of the "magazine well", without the bolt in the gun?

We can tell you if your gun has been altered and what you need to bring it back into repeater status.

That's a hinged floor plat magazine!
I may have one downstairs, but I'm sure western Gun Parts could help as well.
