Ruger 10/22 Mags

[cyclone]

I love the BC steel lip magazines, until their springs go....same with the TI-25 magazines: really good, but every so often one will have a really lousy magazine spring. I've never had feed-lip-issues with either brand, though.


The ProMag 10/22 drum...I really wanted it to work, but it usually jams every 2-3 rounds. No matter what I've tried.


I was going to also go with the BattleDyne magazines, until I started reading the reviews...life's too short for mag-trouble, so I went to the HC3R's instead. Wanstalls got them for me, and I'm quite happy with them!

I have the HC3R mags and so far they have worked flawlessly. They are a bit pricy ($42 - $45), but the functionality and design are well worth it in my opinion. Here is a link to their website. Also Wanstalls has these in stock and my first ordering experience with them for an after market barrel and stock has been very positive.

I picked up one from Wanstalls as well. It works great and really easy to load I'm going to buy 1 more and then chuck out my old butler creeks.

i have nothing but failures with the butler creek mags but the gsg 110rd drum has never failed.

Dang, really? Are they steel lip mags? The butler creeks are one of the highest rated magazines for reliability, mine were certainly worth the money.

I have yet to get my hands on the tear-drop magazine like one of these, though: http://www.mwgco.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/50rnd.gif

I've got an original Mitchell like this.

No, it's not for sale, unless you want a straight-up blind trade for a Fortner Anshutz, or something equally silly! (just a note to cut down on the PM's, eh?)

My Mitchell mag is a PITA to load, needs 3 hands, really, and I keep it around to remind myself not to buy in to the sales pitch... The plastic key that came with it was responsible for a couple high speed 'unwind' incidents, so I made a steel one for it. The latch for the rear cover is a weak point. Mine broke off about the third time it was removed. The cover for the main spring is weak too.

Still want one?

I keep going back to factory mags for my shooting. I have a couple BC mags around and cannot complain about their reliability, simply that I have found them to not meet my needs as well as the factory 10's do.
