10/22 Feed Lips on mag. problem.

[brosometal]

I switched ammo and got a little better result than before.  This is with the Eagle 30 rounders.  I made a conscious effort to make sure the plastic mags (just for Haz and R. Lee Ermey) were seated all the way. (The plastic allows the mags to wiggle a bit).  The results were enough for me not to toss them yet.  They still need a lot of improvement to save them from the landfill, but they have a repreive for now.

I've had no problems with my Ram-Lines (20, 30 and 50 rounds), bought all of them fairly recently (within last 6 months). I just got a 50-rounder and haven't had it out to the range as yet, though, so we'll see.

Given the few respondents on this thread, we may want to go easy on the snarky Ram-Line and Ruger comments until there is clearer evidence that there actually is a problem with the mags.

When did they start making new 20 round mags? Are you sure they aren't 25?

When all 4 out of my 4 50-round mags don't work, but all of my other 8 mags work, that's evidence enough for me. When you can't even load or unload the mags without them jamming it's either the mags or the ammo. But it's not the ammo since it works in all of the other mags. 100% of my 50-round mags are defective. The top of the followers look like they've split in half, spread out, and and jammed themselves against the inside walls of the mags. If it was one solid piece I think they would work. I'm trying to figure out how to fix them myself since I can't get Ram-Line to answer any of my emails. It's $150 down the toilet if I can't fix them.

Here is an idea..... scrap the 10/22 and go out and buy yourself a Remington 597.......... problem solved!

Jumbo,

Here's the 597 just for you!

Encircle,

Do they make aftermarket mags and 'stuff' for the 597?  I like the price on the basic model (180.95)

Do they have 50-round mags available? If not, then it's not a solution for people who want to load a whole box of ammo in one mag.

Besides that, all my 30-round mags that work great in a 10/22 won't fit a Remington. I'm not scrapping a great gun that I've had for 30 years and hundreds of dollars worth of accessories.

If there was a fight between a Ruger 10/22 and a Remington 597, who would win?

Neither. Guns don't fight by themselves. Was it a trick question?

My 10/22 is registered as a pistol. Maybe if I carried it concealed I could whip it out before anyone else knows there' a gunfight.

No 50-round mags, so no way to load a whole box of ammo in one mag? I already have 6 30-round mags for my 10/22 and they work great. Getting rid of my .22 rifle and mags, and replacing it with a more expensive .22 rifle and mags doesn't make any sense to me. I think I paid $63 or $67 for my 10/22, brand new, and about $10 apiece for the mags. It looks like it would cost about 3 times as much to replace my 10/22 and 6 30-round mags with a 597 and 6 30-round mags. But if you guys know where I can get a new Remington 597 and 6 30-round mags for anywhere close to $125 let me know.

Nah.  Just among my friends, we would "promote" fights between things that wouldn't actually fight in real life.  Like if there was a fight between Aerosmith and the Eagles, who would win?  Then you have the option of giving each combatant an unusual weapon such as a 12" Statue of Liberty or a 2 lb. bag of M&Ms.  Just silliness.  If you were wondering it was determined that Aerosmith would win because, "You gotta give it to Aerosmith.  Not too many bands can suck for over 30 years."
