Does anyone know if they make a extended magazine for the Mark 4?

During last few panic shortages I would buy that stuff when it was there. Never had any problem with it in any of my many .22's. For some reason the same ammo with the same name "bulk packed" did not work quite as well. Never was sure was it actually different or was it the bulk packing that make it less reliable? In any case the stuff packed in plastic like that always has worked for me.Better to get it while we can so all we have to do is worry about rounds. By the way I got this on the way home. I'm not sure if its any good. It says bullet style plated lead round nose, 40 grain. 1255 fps.

What I mean is like if you want to see someones profile like for example this is mine on high fidelity and everyone can see it when the click my profile. So when we have a conversation, I can easily go back to the topic for I can see what his equipment is and what may be he's talking about. Otherwise I will kindly might have to ask him again what gun or magazine for I wouldn't really remember or unfamiliar since I'm just new.What do you mean by equipment profile?
Have a few 10/22 Rifles, couple MK Pistols, then a few smaller .22 autos. All of them seem to have pretty much the same "taste" in ammo. Ammo that does not work well in one seems to not work well in any of them.Hi,
Since I'm new here, I was just wondering if each member has an equipment profile so one can view some of his helpful information. Maybe I'm not just seeing it due to my insufficient credentials.
What was the .22LR you have?
Is your rifle an AR10 with a 22LR conversion kit?Have a few 10/22 Rifles, couple MK Pistols, then a few smaller .22 autos. All of them seem to have pretty much the same "taste" in ammo. Ammo that does not work well in one seems to not work well in any of them.
That does not help much what the dealer told you Imo. I would totally ignore that advice. The very best rounds imo (eley match) are not plated. Decent rounds such as cci standard velocity, federal auto match, and others are not plated. Some horrible rounds are plated..... The only thing that the dealer told me is try to use the plated ones not the lead.
No I have a few Ruger 10/22's. In the past I have had a couple conversion kits for an AR. They were OK to play with but twist on the barrel is not correct for the .22LR bullets and accuracy suffered. They were OK for playing with.Is your rifle an AR10 with a 22LR conversion kit?
I went to Cabellas this morning an they have a lot of nice .22 pistols including MK. This lady that I talked to, she owns a Taurus .22 competition. She said she can shoot that gun all day long . I can see why. The miracle is the rounds are so reasonable.
Hopefully I will have the same ammo acquirement in the hand gun and the 22LR rifle. The only thing that the dealer told me is try to use the plated ones not the lead.
The Ruger MK series has long been a "bench mark" other .22's are judged by. They are of course not for everyone but, the way they have such a large market share tells you a lot. There is a TON of after market stuff for them due to how many are out there. Very hard to go wrong with one. Handle a few of the flavors and see which one feels best to you. Other than the MKIII LITE I have never been disappointed by any of them I have owned over many decades of shooting. Fist hand gun I had of my own was an original MK back in the early 70's. I don't think you can wear one out. The MKIV is to me hands down the best idea they ever came out with since hitting the market with these little pistols.Is your rifle an AR10 with a 22LR conversion kit?

Great advise. Sidetrack a bit on the pistol. this is what I have on the 22LR long ones. It turn out to be so fun to fire for a .22 and it can get pretty close especially after I get a good sight. Now it feels like I don't wanna open the 22LR conversion kit for my AR15 anymore. I think I should just leave it alone for a sole 5.56. Just for the TX-22 pistol, this TM22 rifle and plenty of magazines. Its a blast!No I have a few Ruger 10/22's. In the past I have had a couple conversion kits for an AR.

The last one I bought (MKIV) is still just as it came. Older MKII has a different trigger. One of these days I will probably get around to doing that with the MKIV as the better triggers are sweet. I just have not bothered yet due to the gun just being something to have fun with.Have you done lots of modifications on your Ruger?
Colt Woodsman if you find oneHello all!
Undecided on which pistol to get. Looking for opinions and experiences.
It would be for just plinking around.
I'm between the Mark IV or the TX22 Competition.
I've read good things about both, but the extra capacity for the TX22 is appealing. I know Taurus has made some changes for the better in the last couple years, made in America now.
Any experience with one or the other?
Thank you!

Thanks for letting us know. I been thinking about that Remington GB. Is that a 36 grain?My TX22 would keyhole Fed Automatch, but ate Remington Golden Bullets with great accuracy. After a couple thousand rounds, it would shoot the Automatch well, but I'd already traded all of it away for the Remington GB's...
