Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best extended magazines for the Ruger 10/22?

For reliability and durability, the Ruger BX-25 magazines are highly recommended due to their robust construction and factory support. Butler Creek magazines with steel feed lips are also a good, reliable option, especially for their price point, though they may not last as long as the BX-25.

What is the main difference between Ruger BX-25 and Butler Creek extended magazines?

The Ruger BX-25 features thicker, stronger plastic and is designed for disassembly for cleaning. Butler Creek magazines, particularly older ones with steel feed lips, are reliable but can have issues with plastic feed lips wearing out, and they are generally not designed for easy disassembly.

Are drum magazines for the Ruger 10/22 reliable?

Drum magazines for the Ruger 10/22, typically holding 100-110 rounds, are generally considered finicky and prone to jamming. Due to these reliability concerns and their higher cost, they are often not recommended for general use.

Why are steel feed lips important for Ruger 10/22 magazines?

The Ruger 10/22's feeding mechanism relies on feed lips located on the magazine. Steel feed lips are more durable and less prone to wear and tear compared to plastic feed lips, ensuring consistent and reliable feeding of ammunition into the chamber over time.
