Ruger BX25 x2

[andrew3081]

I thought Ruger BX25 magazines are illegal unless they are pinned to 10 rounds?
A firearm retailer is selling them...and I dont think it is pinned to 10.

Not pinned means Prohib item... not worth possible jail time....

1. Magazines designed or manufactured for both rimfire calibre rifles and handguns

Magazines designed to contain rimfire cartridges and designed or manufactured for use in a rifle do not have a regulated capacity. However, magazines designed to contain rimfire cartridges and designed or manufactured for use in a semiautomatic handgun are limited to 10 cartridges. Magazines designed or manufactured for use in both rifles and semiautomatic handguns are subject to the handgun limit of 10 cartridges.

Example:
Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 rifle and 15-22P pistol chambered for 22LR caliber:

the 10 round magazine is unregulated
the 25 round magazine is a prohibited device

Example 2*: The Ruger BX-25 magazine, chambered for 22 LR calibre, is designed and manufactured for use in the Ruger SR22 rifle, the 10/22 family of rifles/carbines and the 22 Charger handgun. As a result, this magazine is a prohibited device unless modified so its capacity is 10 cartridges or less.

So the retailer is breaking the law by selling the Bx25...

I guess I will stop searching for these mags then! Just picked up my first 10-22 and now I'm wondering what are your guys' preferred mags?

Butler creek steel lips work fine for me in my 10/22 td.

[shniper]

Thanks. I will pick a couple of those up!

We stock the Butler Creek, but find the Promag steel lips work better & are cheaper. We have them on special right now for $79 a 3 pack, HERE.

Didn't have to do anything to mine. Hundreds of rounds through them and zero issues
