What kind of aftermarket mags are you guys having the best luck with?
I have not had much luck with Butler Creek without jamming. the stock mags run fine.

Was told butler creek were fine as long as you got the metal "lips"....
My wifes family takes the stock 10 rounders and silicones them back to back for a twenty round "flip/flop" mag. This allows two things to happen....one you have an extra 10 rounds, and two...... you can reload the mag on the bottom while firing from the top mag for SHTF.

No mater what you get....dont get plastic feed lips..........

You'll need to do some work on the Hogue over-molded stock in order for the factory magazines to drop free. I wrote my findings in a short article on another forum some time ago. I do suggest sticking with the factory magazines in the 10/22, or at least the ones that specify they have the metal fed lips. I have one Eagle 30 round mag that can be a PITA sometimes. All plastic even the lips...it stays in my closet most of the time.

Alright - I'll bite... Here are some pics of my new addition..

No frills - nothing special wood/blued carbine model. Not really impressed with the plastic trigger housing though.. I guess its a trade off between waiting and finding a good condition used model or getting a new barrel and reciever. Oh well.. excited to shoot it though and hope to mount a good 4x scope on it soon.
