It doesn’t look weird, it’s cool.

[@markhenderson2896]

Great idea

[@ASDFKHASDFKASDF]

Yep, some states have that round limit on the magazines - I think it might be Vic and NSW. I know at least SA doesn't have this limit on rimfire magazines so we can have the 25 round banana magazines. Nice to see you're selling some of this gear on your website. There are some other versions of the magazine couplers out there but they cost way too much.

Thanks for posting mate...🪖👍

I love the mag release. I think it was my 10/22 where I hit the mag release and pinched my finger and it bled like a stuck hog. Blood all over the gun and my clothes

[@burkeyistheone]

I like your mag release. Looks grow on you.

[@adamthomas7250]

I would worry about that longer Mag release catching and dropping the mag while walking around the woods

[@pandahz79]

I am liking the mag release! I just bought the same rifle and I've noticed that i don't like how short the stock mag release is and the flush 10 round mags can be hard to pull out quickly. I have the bx-25 mags on the way right now but i have to try this too! Cheers to the website and video :)

[@pandahz79]

I am located in the US and im desperately wondering if there is a way i could get this shipped to me, i would cover any extra costs of course.

[@iam6345789]

Great upgrades. Do they make those mag connectors for 22wmr. I've just purchased my Ruger in 22wmr and love it

[@ZombieOperatorAUS]

I dont have a 22WMR so i have been unable to make one for them.

[@iam6345789]

@@ZombieOperatorAUS Thanks for the reply! I may do some looking around as I need at least 1 more magazine. We shoot alot of 22lr. Good cheap fun. That 22wmr is a nasty bullet. Thanks for the video!

Do you have the stl files somewere ?

[@dancedad5094]

That mag release is a joke! I can see it snagging on a branch or your coat and losing the mag. Worse yet when racking in another round with a gloved hand and reaching foreword to reestablish your grip, merely touching the lever will drop your mag to the ground when trying to fire a second shot. Save your money.

[@ZombieOperatorAUS]

So.. You have one and experienced this? Or just blowing smoke out your arse?

@@ZombieOperatorAUS 54 years of whitetail hunting and common sense tells me this, Mate.

[@ZombieOperatorAUS]

So no, you have not used one.

[@NelsonZAPTM]

​@ZombieOperatorAUS it is a genuine concern, I've lost mags with the standard mag release.

[@jimdent351]

I regret buying my American Rimfire. The center line of the magazine does not line up with the center line of the chamber so consequently the ammunition gets hung-up when the nose of the bullets hit the left side of the chamber. Ruger refuses to fix it. Garbage company!

[@ianallard5453]

They usually do, if you still have all your paperwork they will likely give you a new one but I think they have a limited coverage time, so check fast!

[@jimdent351]

@@ianallard5453 The thing is that I owned it for 10 years before shooting it. It was still in brand new condition, and Ruger's repair facility said to send it to them and Ruger would cover the repairs but not the shipping. In other words, I made sure they knew I had it for nearly 10 years. A month after they received it they emailed me with the diagnoses that the stock's mold was off a bit and the magazine was off center, BUT Ruger was refusing to to fix it. So they admit that it was defective but I was on my own for the repairs. Total cost for the repair, including the shipping, will be around $280 plus taxes. If they had been honest with me in the beginning I would have never shipped it to them. Once it was in the mail I was screwed. I still blame Ruger for this. They knew that some were defective, and It was their contracted repair facility that said it was covered. The even worse part about his is I have 2 10/22s in my safe that are several years old that I bought for my sons the year they were born. There will be no more Rugers entering this house again. In fact, I'm considering selling the 10/22s and buying something else.

[@freedom2ignite]

Same issue. Bought the rifle when my son was born and obviously he couldnt shoot it for a while. Dealing with the same issue and it’s past the time where they will fix it
