Does anybody Have Ruger 10/22 with BX25 Rd mags fails?

[ktgee]

Is anybody having this experience? I'm having feeding issues with some of the new Factory BX25 mags. For my 10/22 Takedown rifle, some mags will work great and some will not properly feed and feels like the bolt is rubbing on the mag.and does not close all the way.after ejecting spent round. My new 10/22 Charger pistol, and all the BX25 mags with the same problem and doesn't work. But when I use my older mags Butler Creek with plastic lips, they would work fine. Also the 10 and 15 rd factory mags works fine. Any insight to this issue?

Probably the magazine. I bought one in the past that new in the box it was assembled right.

I've had mixed experiences depending on the ammo. I did modify 1 of mine with the short 22 trick and I can't remember it failing since.

Interesting. It's been ages since I sold all my 10/22s but the only thing that functioned reliably in them were the ruger 10 and 25 shot mags. The only exception was the teardrop type. But those were all old production ones.maybe they outsourced production to some other factory or something on the newer ones?

This is a long shot , but maybe change out the trigger group.
This contains the magazine retention interface, so maybe it will improve feeding. My first guess would be bad magazines tho. Doesn't matter if they're Ruger or not .

I don't have a 25 mag.

But I have 10's. And I never really load any mag to the max.

Whether its 10-22, Ar-15, or .308.

I took my 10/22 out of the stock to better show how well the mags lock in place. Note that there is a ton more slop in the 25 rounders.

How can a mag function well if it has so much room to play?

I'm sure there are many solutions, but some layers of duct tape helped mine out.

At one time I had 15-20 of those BX25s. I'd mark the ones that didn't do so well and polish the fed lips. Keeping them clean is also crucial. They are made to be taken apart to be cleaned and lubricated.

I had that happen a while back. Being the gun was still under warranty, I sent it to Ruger, They said the receiver was out of spec and replaced it. No problem since. Great service from them.
That was pre-plandemic.
