Candidate for the ugliest gun combo. If the color wasn't the same as the carpet in my friend's old apartment, it would still be a candidate.

Haha so they finally listened to the market.
Wait, just saw this was an aftermarket adapter. Bummer, Ruger should step their game up. Plenty of guys out there would buy mini 30's and Ruger bolt actions if they could use their AKM mags.

Yeah - my bolt action is a CZ 527, so I am stuck with a proprietary mag.

Yeah - my bolt action is a CZ 527

Very nice. Mucho amor for those mini-Mausers. (Closest in our lineup is a 77/44 in .44 Magnum.)

Wish it wasn't so expensive, or that the cheaper one wasn't 3D printed, or that Ruger just made them like this anyway...
The AICS magwell they make has a lever in the rear that works basically the same way so you wouldn't think it would be that difficult.

Very good guns. I have one and love it. It does share mags with the 6.5 Grendel 527 12 well.

I like it - I love the set trigger and it is the carbine so it is handy. I won't get rid of it, but I do wish it would take AK mags - just not going to happen.

Very nice. That would be most wonderful if could run on Kalashnikov magazines though, as you say, not likely to happen.

In a similar vein, I had the chance to acquire a very reasonably priced, beautifully wood-stocked, CZ in 9.3×62㎜ with set triggers that was like polished glass. However, my wife was with child, so I was very careful with finances then, and did not invest. Darn, that was a beauty, but oh well. (With next child, I encountered a pristine Astra 900 broomhandle, but again held back, because bun in the oven. Haha, such is life. )

I love that they went bakelite with the picture. So caviar and beer of them.

100%. Just absolutely disgusting. Reminds me of some kind of sci-fi robot puking or maybe anime monster.

For some, some of the bakelite mags are collectables - but I agree. OTOH, the intention might have been to highlight the mag and not have someone mistake it for a Mini-14 mag.

Either way, to me, the end result is desirable - for that particular rifle, I would be more aligned with practical aspects than aesthetics. The ability to use a highly common mag would be a much more desirable aspect than how it looked.
