Ruger Mark IV mag capacity

[foxracing29]

Hi folks!! Just got a new gun from a CGN member and i reallize tonight that my magazine capacity is 11 instead 10. They are regular genuine mag from Ruger. What should i do with this problem ?? Thanks guys!!

Well, first you should post it on a public forum and then perhaps call the RCMP?
All kidding aside, the proper thing to do would be buy a new mag and smash the offensive 11 rounder with a hammer so nobody could be assaulted with it. Or take it to a gunsmith to pin it to 10 or remove the floorplate and pin it to 10 yourself?

Or just don’t worry about it? How hard did you have to force the 11th round in?

You can jam in 11. But don't. You are abusing the mag if you do. And it will fail much sooner.

If it is in fact a new gun , from a dealer, tell him, and get different mag. or fix it.

this must be a Mark IV thing cause I could never ever get more than 10 into my Mk III mags.

I may or my not have the same “problem.” The gun will not function properly if you put 11 in, it may if you angle the round upwards - but it’s finicky - and not worth the hassle.

My advice? Don’t worry about it, enjoy your new toy.

I believe Tandemkross and maybe a few others have a "plus one" floorplate extension.
Could be a possible.

I think you got it buddy. They have both mag a Tandemkross floorplate each...

Put only ten rounds in it and shoot the hell out of it!

Only in Canada would someone call a 10 round magazine that holds 11, a problem...
A couple of my Mark IV mags will accommodate 11 rounds, if you force them. It won’t feed them properly, but if you want to carry an extra round with you and that’s how you decide to do it...whatever floats your boat, I guess
