Hello,
Can anyone tell me if Beretta M9 (92FS) magazines could fit (in the mag well at least) and function (or be made to function) in the Marlin Camp rifle?
If someone would say yes, it would really make my life easy.

Yes. You need to make another hole in the magazine body.

Remove magazine catch from rifle. Insert magazine, allow the feedlips enough room to clear bolt and not bump into receiver too deeply...look at Marlin magazine for example. Scribe the new hole location by running tool around empty magazine release slot.

Make your new slot in the magazine body.

Clean up sharp edges, install magazine release, enjoy.
