Tactical Innovations 10/22 25 rd mags

The instructions are pretty accurate if I remember. I got mags running perfect in about 10 mins.

My recommendation would be to compare the TI25's beside the BX10 to get the screw heights matching with the Ruger profile. You definitely will have one side lower than the other (I think the right is lower) and all four screws should touch the receiver when the mag is inserted. It shouldn't wobble at all.

lol....I haven't given up yet. still ####ing around with them. I'm gonna ignore the instructions and what other people say to do. they say to adjust all the screws so that there's 4 points of contact to the receiver at all times.

that's impossible because you kinda want it to teeter totter so the round can wiggle it's way into the chamber since the feed angle is so steep. I've got the lead shavings down to a minimum but can't eliminate it altogether. remember....you only have as much room as the mag well will allow you to work with.

also the instructions say the receiver has to be out of the stock to make adjustments. well if I did that I'd have the gun apart each time I turn one screw....which is about 100 times now. doing two mags.....and we all know how the pins all fall out when you take a 10/22 apart. I put tape on each side to keep the pins from falling out

I only took the receiver out of the stock the first few times to get the initial adjustments, after that I did the fine tuning with the gun intact. I pity the fool that is trying to set up more than two mags

the amount of work trying to tune these things is not worth the high price you pay. somebody said that earlier

another thing on their website they say the mags come adjusted from the factory and can be used right out of the bag. that's a lie.....all the screws were completely screwed in except one on both mags. nowhere near being adjusted

and yet another thing I don't understand.....a 10/22 receiver is not the same height on both sides of the magwell. if you look at your factory Ruger mags and Butler Creek mags and all others......the left side of the mag is higher than the right side. but on the TI25 mags, they made the left and right side the same height which looks stupid cause you have the two left side screws sticking up higher than the right side which just doesn't look right

so far, to get 25 rd mags to work properly you just need some zip ties, epoxy, tape, screws, a bit of filing.......Bill Ruger was a genius. he created a gun that works perfect with the intended rotary mag and sucks with anything else!

Never had a single problem with any of my 10/22 mags.

I have:

3 - 10rnd stock mags
2 - BC smoke steel lips
2 - TI25s
1- HC3R mag

Like what sfx said. When I got the TI25's, I just put them side by side to my 10 rnd mag and set the screws that way, checked the feed angle beside the stock 10rnd and was done with it. I don't have to worry with any of the mags, I jam them in my SR-22 and have at it.
 
got through a whole mag with no jams on both magazines!!

using different ammo. I was using Winchester M-22 before which I find not to be the most reliable feeding ammo....now using Winchester super X copper plated ammo and Federal copper plated ammo

the copper plated ammo seems to work better....but then again the M-22 is black copper plated so maybe not

will do more testing with different ammo later. I don't want to anger the magazine gods

something tells me reliability will be sporatic at best
 
I measured the diameter of the Winchester M-22's and some are up to .002" wider than Federal .22 ammo

I can only fit 25 rounds in the TI25 with the M-22's.....I can fit 26 rounds with Federal American Eagle

.002" X 25 = .050".....enough to fit an extra round. mind you the mag won't seat in the gun with 26 rounds but that extra .002" and heavy wax coating makes it less reliable in a 25 round mag

hopefully my next test with better ammo will be a success. mind you the rotary mag will work with ANY type of crappy ammo
 
Love the TI25's and the 10 round OEM rotary mags!
That's just about all I use.....

I bought two TI mags and had some adjustment problems. Before I got the TIs adjusted, I bought three BC mags and the BC loader. No problems.
Finally, I got the TIs adjusted and am now a happy camper with two original Ruger 10 round mags, two TI mags and three BC steellips clear. :D

In the first video post to this thread where the man adjusts the pin holding the mags in, I noted several times that he was showing the mag going in, front to back.
Guess he has stage fright but it was informative.
 
how many hours or days did it take to adjust them all? and what's the trick to get them to work? I find the feed angle is too steep on them so they either bend the bullets or shave the lead

I just received some TI25's from IRG today. They won’t cycle out of the box and it’s a #### to adjust them correctly.... then I thought.... won’t these STEEL adjustment screws damage my ALUMINUM receiver???

I google ‘Tactical Inc TI25 problems’... sure enough people are #####ing about their receivers getting chewed up by these adjustment screws.

yeah they chew up your aluminum receiver. I don't care as long as they work properly but so far no luck. but then again my 10/22 is in Quebec getting repaired right now.

I got a lemon. so I can't blame the TI25 mags completely yet

you can replace the steel screws with nylon ones if you can find them. that will stop the screws from gouging your receiver.

I like how the website says they are adjusted at the factory and can be used right out of the package "as is"....mine were all screwed in and not adjusted at all.

they're a real ##### to adjust and you'll waste a lot of ammo doing it.....bent rounds, scraped lead. you pretty much have to find the compromise between the two extremes

Funny...didn't take me long at all? Most of them were fine out of the package.
You have to understand what way the mag is wiggling in the mag well or what it's doing to the round when placing your rifle in battery and then adjust the screws accordingly to compensate for the movement or angle. (a half to quarter turn at a time on the screw(s))
Also, none of my receivers are getting "chewed up" by the adjustment screws?? If they are, then you're screws are set too high and you're jamming it in the mag well.
Mine are all composite mags. I've heard other people are not having good luck with the aluminum ones? Not sure why though......

I think your right; I’m adjusting the screws too high. The instructions for the mags say you must leave a clearance between the screws and the receiver, and the wiggle is normal. But with the screws adjusted low it will allow my the bolt hits the feed lips, so I must gently tug the mag downwards after I insert it to insure clearance from the feed lips to the bolt.

I just expect things to fit snug and secure while being reliable all the time.... I need to keep reminding myself that this is just a fun gun to shoot tin cans, not defend my family from ISIS.

If the bolt is hitting the fed lips on your mag, then your screws are turned IN too far. Turn all 4 OUT 1/2 turn at a time and see if that rectifies the problem.

why does nobody in Canada sell these? are they banned like the Ruger BX-25 mags?

Did you get anything worked out yet? I just gave another BC steel lip mag a bother try, and it works perfectly, but only using rem golden bullets. I have 3 or 4 diff mags on the way, test them all, see what happens. Here's a pic ( 100 yards,cheap simmonds RDS, BC steel lip mag, rem golden bullits. image.jpg. I had 2 of those BC steel lip mags previously , and they sucked, go figure.

my POS 10/22 is still in Quebec at Snap Shots getting repaired......well, they haven't even looked at it yet. it's been 3 weeks now. you can read my rants in the rimfire section

not impressed with Ruger at all, or Snap Shots, or my 10/22.....I got a real lemon. not impressed with TI25 mags too. curious to see how yours go when you get them. people either love them or hate them

in order to get Snap Shots to answer any of your emails you must contact Ruger to contact Snap Shots, to answer to Ruger and then Ruger to answer back to you

and the Butler Creek steel lips....or any other 25 round mag. I think it's a gamble when you buy them. maybe you'll get a good one, maybe you'll get a bad one
