Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

How long do these normally last?

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

I grew up using my Dad's(70's) and have one of my own and I've never seen one fail or wear out. I would think they are good for 5-10 thousand rounds as long as your talking about the Ruger origionals. I did have a 50 round that is long gone.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

but the 50 wasn't a Ruger brand? How many (total) do I need?

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

Total magazines?? what is the application? squirrel hunting: maybe 3 or 4 factory 10 rounders. Neighborhood or home defense? Get as many as you can carry to keep from having to reload. The 50 rd drums are nice. I'd say, 8-10 of the 25, 30, or 50 round mags.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

I have 2 ruger 10/22's, one is a standard carbine and the other is the 10/22-22 model with the 22" barrel in stainless.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

Nice. I have a pair also but with blueing and walnut stocks. Put a red dot on one with a 1 point sling and a 50 rd drum. Ruger 10/22s are just plain fun.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

Is the 50 round drum really practical, though? I'm very sensitive to the weight balance of the rifle for accurate shooting.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

:rolleyes_m: I also have 2 Ruger 10/22s...both stainless.

The Ramline 30 round mags are flawless...a couple thousand rounds and never a failure or a jam.

4X scope on both...pretty deadly out to about 80 yards...1" groups using CCI Stingers...I got lucky and got two good ones I guess.

Factory mags ?

Never used mine...got em' in a drawer somewhere...probably good for 4000-5000 rounds easily.

Aftermarket kits and mods for the Ruger 10/22s dominate the .22 caliber firearm market...nothing comes close.
The best supported brand out there...I love mine.

:D:D:D

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

I have a ramline 30 round. I like the spring mechanism but it doesn't seem to sit in the gun comfortably. The plastic at the top is also wearing out quickly.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

I picked up 2 25 round Butler Creek magazines for my 10-22. Plastic and clear. Good question to ask how long they will last.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

I picked out some good parts for ya :wink:

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

I had a factory ruger 10-22 mag with a weak spring, causing jams...maybe less than 1000 rounds through the gun...fixable...Wolff gunsprings makes a heavier spring for it...fairly easy to replace.

Recommend 4-5 factory mags for each 10-22 rifle...they work pretty crappy without 'em. :thumpdown

Thanks, added the site for future reference. Looks like good prices.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

SilverCity,

You can take the 10rd factory mags apart and wind the spring one or two wraps tighter.

If you need anything else for your 10/22 an aftermarket bolt stop and magazine release are worth installing. Volquartsen makes nice parts.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

I don't like the fact you need a modified magizine for the auto bolt stop.
It would be nice if you didn't.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

After market Mags for 10/22s should have metal feed lips(?) I had a 30 rounder that wouldnd feed because the plastic lips were goofy.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

Which ones do? My Ramline is plastic.

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

Butler Creek

Re: Ruger 10/22 magazines
 

My favorite bang for the buck 10/22 mags are the 30 round eagle mags from CDNN-investments. 4.99 each. Flawless mags, but the butlert creek crank loader doesn't work on them :(

For me the promag and ramline mags are crap. I've got two of them (will to trade for silver if you like them, lol), they are jam-o-matics in my 10/22.

butler creeks work well and the loader is hard to beat.

Must have 10/22 add ons for the thing to be worth a hoot: extended mag release, new bolt hold/release and while you are in there include a recoil 'buffer' = total cost for mods about 20 bucks.

I like my Marlin 795 ALOT better than my 10/22, but there aren't any hicaps for the marlin or the extra cool folding stocks, lol. Marlin 795 is 110 bucks and runs like a top out of the box, no mods needed. 10/22 $225(and up) plus the cost of mods... we must be suckers for hi cap mags :confused_ma:
