New Ruger 10/22 Compatible Magazines
Two different companies have some new magazine options for the Ruger 10/22.
The first, ZiPFactory ( http://www.zipfactory.com) announced they are featuring their new ZX-30 Series Magazine ( http://www.zipfactory.com/pages/ZiP_Mag_ZX-30_magazine.aspx). There are four items that make up the product line:
- Field Upgrade Kit ( http://www.zipfactory.com/pages/ZiPMagUpgradekitforBX-25.aspx)
- Full High Capacity magazine (standard 20 round which should be legal in MD)
- 10 and 15 round factory restricted magazines for the following states (CA, CO, CT, HI, MA, NY, NJ)
- (Cannot ship to Washington D.C., Aurora, CO; Chicago, Chicago Heights, Cicero, & Oak Park, Illinois)
The ZX-30 magazines are 100% cross platform compatible with all 10/22 (and, of course, with ZiP semiauto 22’s).
The ZX-30 Upgrade Kit and ZX-30 full magazines are now shipping and available.
The other offering is the HC3R magazine, from HC Mags ( http://www.hcmags.com/) which uses a pretty innovative method for loading the magazine using a rear loading stripper clip. The following video demonstrates the operation which is an obvious solution in retrospect:
Tom is a former Navy Corpsman that spent some time bumbling around the deserts of Iraq with a Marine Recon unit, kicking in tent flaps and harassing sheep. Prior to that he was a paramedic somewhere in DFW, also doing some Executive Protection work between shifts. Now that those exciting days are behind him, he teaches wilderness medicine and runs an on-demand medical staffing business. He hopes that his posts will help you find solid gear that will survive whatever you can throw at it--he is known (in certain circles) for his curse...ahem, ability...to find the breaking point of anything.You can reach him at tom.r AT thefirearmblog.com or at https://thomasrader.com

due to some infuriating bit of language on the package of the Ruger BX mags I will never know the pleasure of shooting one but I must say that the HCR I have always gets my vote. And as a bonus is not to hard to load in cold conditions.
Yea well.....just as well be a TWO round magazine accesory for the criminal commercial conspiracy that has not allowed for 22 rimfire ammo to be on the shelves for TWENTY FREAKIN' MONTHS!!
