Ruger 10/22 owners: Butler Creek is producing 25rnd "hot lips" magazines again(vanity/FYI)

[King Prout]

just an FYI for fellow Ruger 10/22 rifle owners:

The AWB-caused (and lamentable) ten-year dearth of new Butler Creek 25 round capacity "Hot Lips" magazines is at an end.

I recently purchased a fair number of them from Michaels of Oregon. @ $25 apiece. Expected them in 4-6 weeks, they arrived in one week.

All perfectly functional. Well worth the price. Figured y'all'd want to know they're available again.

as a startpoint - a most droolworthy site:

I dunno if they're new, but they're available.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The local range/shop had a display of 10 round pistol mags with the sign, "Limited Edition Collector Items" LOL!

[King Prout]

LOL!

'course, if Flipper manages to shoehorn his way into the whitehouse...

(why d'you think ALL of my surplus funds are going towards "targeted items"?)

[glock rocks]

Ruger even to this day will not manufacture hi-cap mags or folding stocks for rifles.

Here is a factory Ruger AC556, in .223, complete with folding stock and extended mags.

[boofus]

That machinegun is either for law enforcement/military only or built in the 1980s well before Ruger embarked on the gun control agenda.

[glock rocks]

I think you're right on the LE only. Not sure about the date.

shoot fast. shoot straight. shoot safe. molon labe.

Butler Creek is the only extended magazine that I would trust for a 10/22.

[glock rocks]

The smoke mags look much more cool on the stock black receiver. My daughter wants me to strip and paint the receiver on her 10-22 metalic magenta. I'm thinking the clear mags might look good with that. ... well, with the graphite barrel, VQ trigger and toys, reddot and all... I might just strip down her maple stock and stain it magenta to match. Hmmmm... winter project...

I'm kind of partial to black and oak. I think I'll leave mine alone.

[glock rocks]

bonk.

[B4Ranch]

Yes, I'm drooling and slobbering all over myself! Happy now?

[King Prout]

I'm in the midst of redoing my 1022 as a bullpup (basically, so as to not interfere with my mojo re: my bullpupped AK47)
I don't like the feel of the Muzzelite kits I have handled, so I'm scratchbuilding it.
Input on mat'ls would be appreciated.
I'm having a devil of a time finding plank hardwood.
Oak is not too heavy for a 1022?

[glock rocks]

Yes, it's heavy. My 10-22 weighs more than my elk rifle.

Maybe maple would be good... that's what the upper one is.

[Mulder]

How reliable are these magazines?

I have a few of the 10 round box mags, which I absolutely hate. I often have feeding problems with them.

So I'm looking to upgrade, but want something reliable.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Very very nice. I love how the grain looks on yours.

[FreedomPoster]

I've got one I bought early-on during the ban (so it only cost an arm, and not an arm and a leg), and it has worked very well.

I'll pick up 4-5 when supply catches up with demand, and they get down to $20 or so.
