HC Mags HC3R Rimfire Magazine: 22 LR, 25-Rounds...Last Chance

Just got my order in for 2. Maybe 5 left. I already have a few and find they run great in my SBI ST22 and Ruger SR22 if you load them right. Super easy to do the receiver modification with a file...just take your time and keep checking the fit.

Rumours of 2 different companies working on these for the Canadian market according to an SBI Reddit post.

i would love to see Canadian made "tuf22" style mags but hopefully they don't try to outright clone the H3CR mags. Hopefully better QC as things as essential as feed angle seem to be a common issue with the mags currently sold.

The stripper clip design is nice in theory but after testing the recommended ways to load the mags and every trick on the internet the reliability isn't really there.

The open sides of the mags let in all sorts of crap if they touch dirt/gravel ground.

Dropping the mag on the ground is often enough force to pop the stripper clip out of the mag, very annoying.

The follower retraction nub thing on the side also makes it impossible to put them in pouches or otherwise carry them as the slightest release of pressure on the loaded mag will #### up the feeding.

Traditional follower spring versus those rolled up springs would be nice as well.

If it's possible to make an adapter that takes the tm22 mags, that seems like the ideal move currently, though I have no idea if the mag geometry or feed angle are compatible.

This was mentioned by SBI that the only mag geometry that they could get to work was the 597. I've tried their adapter with a few of those rem mags and they were all janky, I'm trying my luck with the HCs this time around.

The only issues I've had is from my not loading them right. As other have said if you load them like a normal BC mag they run just fine. I watched all the YouTube videos and played around at home to where I thought I was proficient enough to use the chargers. But at the range I still fumbled rounds onto the ground.
I just hope the other companies making similar ones in the future don't put a target on these mags.
 
Got mine :)

This has not been my experience. I have 4 mags. Of them, 1 has a bad feed angle so it's completely out. The other 3 there is no rhyme or reason for how they will run if you load them normally without using the stripper clips (ie: loaded 1 round at a time). Almost 100% of the time they will #### up the first round or two. Down-loading from max capacity by a few rounds seems to raise the chance of them working first time around but it's not guaranteed. Once it feeds a few rounds then it seems to work until the end of the mag, usually. This is observed across several different guns of mine and others. YMMV obviously.
 
Interesting - someone posted that DLASK arms has 271 HC Mags in stock now. I was pretty sure they were sold out of them last week.

CSC, I hope you order in some nice short barrels for the 10/22 - like 10" ones.
