Pinned Mags for Ruger Mini-14/Ranch Rifle

[teclaydon]

Does anyone know where you can purchase pinned hi-cap mags for the Ruger Mini-14/Ranch Rifle?

Doesn't the Mini-14 take AR Mags?

No they are not interchangable.

They come up on the EE quite often and Marstar has them listed here http://www.marstar.ca/mag-lg-2.htm#ruger

Thanks for the lead. I came across that on Marstar's site as well, but in the 'Avail' column beside them, there's an 'N' .

Perhaps I'll try sending Marstar a note to see if they have any idea of when they might again have them in stock. I have four of the factory 5-round Ruger mags, so a pinned hi-cap mag is just for 'window dressing' (it would go well with my Ranch Rifle's SCAR-CQB stock).

That's good, because looking good is all that I'd expect.

The 100% reliability that we take for granted (with Ruger magazines) might be the rifle's best feature. My experience with the no-name Marstar product is something else entirely.
The worst magazines I ever used, they wouldn't feed. (They offered to exchange them. Not worth the shipping IMO.) Absolute crap.

I threw them away.

Hold out for OEM Ruger magazines. They will turn up sooner or later.
