best magazines for ruger 10/22?
« on: October 16, 2012, 08:12:48 PM »
The stock mags are hard to release. So I tried the clear 10rnd mags from butler creek. Four of them. All failed on me at the last funshoot. Am I supposed to lube the inside of the mags? What mags do you use?

The stock mags are the best.

I suggest you get an extended magazine release. That should alleviate your problem.

I have all ruger mags and nothing else.  Butler creek has a horrible reputation for reliability.  I have no issues ever with my 10+ year old ruger mags.  The new 25 rnd ruger bx mags have issues with being wobbley. 
I do lube and clean my mags about every 500 rnds.  I also use good ammo so they are less dirty.

check the sidewalls on your magwell.  sometimes we have to open them up so the mags drop easier.....may involve removing the stock and sanding the inside. or dremel.....

I go the other route. I sand or file away the bing areas of the magazine. Magazines are cheaper than magwell and stocks.

I don't like the extended mag release but I only shoot from the bench.  I think dex at xring had a tactical solutions extended mag release in stock.  That will help.  You can get on right off the ruger website but shipping sucks.  If you want one of the best order a Kidd speed release they usually have free shipping

I have found a lot of stocks to be out of spec. especially the hogues.  It is only the sidewall of the stocks that need to be filed down or sanded.  best to take all your mags and measure them with a caliper
and check the sides of the magwell. .020" play will let the mags drop out easy.

Yes mag release is a necessary upgrade. I picked up a kit from dexter and swapped everything. Buffer pin, mag release, and couple other things.
Then right after that I see a different mag release I want.

Careful which one you buy people report having issues with mixing parts kits rubbing or sticking the auto bolt release.  I think vq comes to mind and the Utg

Don't remember off the top of my head. I'll check when I get home.
Also think I put the extractor back wrong, doesn't fly the spent shell
