10-22 mags which ones are good

[spencerhenry]

i have a couple of factory ruger mags that the follower sticks in. i need some new ones unless someone can tell me how to fix mine.
i would like to have a little more capacity than the 10rnds but i like the flush fit with the stock. if i go with a higher capacity single stack which ones are known to be good, and which ones should i stay away from.

Take them apart and clean them.

Ruger OEM are the best out there, but like any mag they need to be taken care of.

+1 exactly what I was going to say.

the butler creek 25rd steel lips seem to work pretty well with the black smoke plastic body! don't buy the clear all plastic one's i bought one and it jams and wont cycle with all 25rds pain in my a##.

Like Hoser said, clean your factory mags, they're the best. If you want hi-cap mags, buy the TI(tactical inovations) mags! Composite ones are $35 and the aluminum ones are $70. Yes a little pricey but can be taken apart for cleaning!!

[spencerhenry]

my factory ruger mags arent dirty. after posting i opened one up and figured out that tightening the spring would probably solve the issue. i would like to have more than 10rds capacity, but i had larger mags many many years ago and have stuck in my mind that they are crap.

I saw black dog has 50rd drums for around $70

[Hoser]

Black Dog mags also run great.

Another vote for the Tactical Innovations magazines.

I have several and they all run great.

Totally agree with you. Every Hi cap mag that Ihave put in my gun has not worked at all for me

I've got some older eagle 25 or 30 round cap mags, they are still running strong. They also next together giving you 50 rounds by flipping them pair over.

Not sure if the eagle mags are made anymore. The steel lips ones should be good too. I'll buy some 10/22 mags in the future and report here their status...

[Wulf202]

any of the staggered mags like the eagle 30 or 50 rounders I've had trouble with. The single stack mags like butler creek 25 rounders work well, I've had a plastic lipped one since 94 that's still running.

You can also get the flip over blocks for the stock 10 rounders.

forgot about those 10 round blocks, those were a great Idea, saw them at the last tanner show. Might have to get some of those!

They might not look dirty, but take them apart and you would be amazed how much wax and powder residue builds up in there. And if you shoot a 22 with a can on, it gets really bad.

I've used the butler creek ones (non steel lips) for a few years and haven't had many problems.

really!, mine will not feed worth crap in my 10/22 it jams every other round and will only cycle if i put 15 rounds in it give or take! but the steel lips feed perfectly it is pretty new since last dec might have a factor!

[cowboykjohnson]

I've shot the steel lips and they work a little better, but i've never really had any that were a pain.

[BigBear]

I've had the Butler Creek 25 round "hot lips" mags for YEARS and have yet to have any probs in my 10/22 carbine. Bought a few more just last week from a member here.

[coop68]

huh weird, i will try it a few more times maybe play around with different types of ammo. the butler creek steel lips i have no problem with just the all plastic clear ones! o well

[SouthPaw]

gonna try the eagle ctd ones and report hopefully they work out

I have used the eagle and for the price there hard to beat, just don't drop it LOL. I had 3 now 2+ 1 millon little bits of plastic

I have 2, one of the double and one of the quad. The double is kinda cool but the quad is just plain bulky. If you want to borrow them let me know

these look like a good compromise and secure
