I have used the 10-round magazine for the Marlin 795 sold by Brownells (www.brownells.com) as 550-000-337. This is a nickel plated mag. Aside from extra capacity and nickel plating it appears to be the same design as the 7-round magazine that came with the rifle (Marlin 989). Brownells also sells a 7-round blued mag as 550-707-346 that should work.
Because the 989 is a magazine fed rifle, the 22 short may not feed properly. In addition, if you fire many shorts in the rifle you run the risk of building up dirt that will attract moisture and cause corrosion. If the chamber gets corroded at the front it will not feed 22 long rifles well. If you must shoot sorts, clean the chamber well when you are done.
