Ruger Mk II mags

[RT]

Will Ruger Mk II or III mags fit and work in a Mk I ?

I use a couple Mk II mags with my Mk I. They didnt work without a little tinkering though.

No, they won't fit.

i dont know the dimensions but the MkII has the mag release at the base of the mag while the mkIII has it on the frame
so they are not interchangeable

no they don't fit

I will try to post some pictures tomorrow and you can see for yourself if they fit or not. Sorry forgot about this post or would have done it today.

Mk 2 mags will fit. You have to reverse the follower button. This is done bye taking the mag apart for cleaning and putting the button on the other side when you reassemble the mag.

I actually find the Mk II mags work better and they have the extra shot. To each their own I guess.

I had to make the follower button a little thicker on the MK II mags. The button would sometimes slip under the frame.
