Ruger 10/22 Stick magazines (not banana)

[handgunner]

Does anyone know a manufacturer that makes a stick magazine for the 10/22? Seems all I find is the banana style magazine. Any direction would be helpful. Thanks

I don't think they make a stick mag. The problem would be that in a straight mag, the rims would need to sit on top (or slightly in front/behind) of eachother, and it's not really possible. The only reason mags are made 'banana' shape is due to the fact that rimfire cartridges are not 'stackable', (like they would be in say, a .45 Thompson) and the mag geometry needs to match that of stacked shells.

Gevarm makes a 20rd stick mag. Don't have pic handy.

I have a few. They can be tricky to load properly (the guy that sold them to me sent me detailed instructions which i have to look up again but they work like a charm.
