Hey guys
I was wondering on this forum are any reps that come to this forum from butler creek?
I'm asking cause I sent a email to butler creek mag office ( well I hope thats where it went ) and have not had a reply.
the problem I'm having is during shooting out of the four Butler creek mags I own two keep giving me problems one keeps getting jammed on bolt and other jams every few shots, very frustrating.
I took all four to my grinder to allow the bolt to pass over but how much more time am I to spend before I trash them and look for another company that provides similar equipment..
very frustrating as my club is just under 3 hours one way so when I went yesterday and spend almost 4 hours sending rounds downrange only about 20 min was spent with my ruger as I got fed up and spent more time with sks and GSG.
If any of you have a better email address would you mind passing it alont to me
thanks very much.
Glenn
 
I thought buttler creek mags were all cheap junk and all had issues? I've never bought one for that reason. I have yet to have a problem with a mag from Pro Mag though.
 
That is unfortunate. Maybe you got a bunch of lemons? I had one back when I had the sr22 and never a problem with the steel lips ones. I have heard that the hot lips are crap.
 
Personally in my experience I have never seen this on someone who understands the problem from a mechanical fitment point of view.

maybe OP isn't aware of the spacer you need to make on the trigger group so that the mag seats firmly without play.

there's a thread about it.

I have 10 mags that run perfect and so do my shooting buddies.
 
have 4 mag and they was a little bit of play with the magwell that was doing some jam and fte , i put some black electric tape to eliminate that play and now they work at near 98% without a failure
 
How much did you remove on the grinder?

All mine needed to be relieved, only needed a diamond stone, but after that they have all ran perfectly. Even one of the mags split in two and is only held together with tape, it runs 100%...

Have you tried them in anyone else's 10-22?

If you want to scrap them let me know.
 
So funny, we all have our different tips. They are all totally valid. I used electrical tape till i saw the thead about the mod, worked then without the tape
 
great advise..
each mag small tweak with grinder and worked with each mag untill it worked ..
and yes was not aware of thread but I'm going to look into it..
tape maybe or just read thread..
thanks guys
I figured must be a reason for this.

I have six butler creek 25rd mags myself, all run at near 100% in two different 10/22s. I found that when I first got them I also had the issue where the bolt of the gun was catching the the feed lips. I found to resolve the problem I needed to file down the top of the feed lips to where it no longer snagged the bolt. I also rounded off the rear edge of the feed lips to allow the bolt to more easily slide up and over the feed lips if it did happen to snag it slightly. After this modification I've yet to have any real problems with the mags. I've probably put around a brick through each of the mags and none have caused any memorable issues to date.
 
I have a least 50 butler creek mags. All different colors, and both hot & steel lips. They all get a lot of use during gopher season and have for years.

The only ones that ever had hic-cups are the clear steel lips ones when they are new.

Tried a shooters ridge single stack and it is good too. Old Eagles are great too.

All stagger stacked mags I've tried are garbage. (Shooters ridge/ramline/?yellow follower mag?)

I've never had one that the bolt hit, usually the ammo get stuck on the way up and can't reach the feed lips. This is in 4 main 10/22's and around 8 occasional 10/22's.
