    Servicing Ruger Magazines??

    My factory 10 round 10/22 rotary magazines aren't feeding well. Are they servicable or are there any tricks to cleaning the internals? I don't store ammo in them when not in use, but it seems like the springs are shot. Any ideas would be appreciated.

      Turn down your speakers.

          You can buy one of these tools to make assem easier.

          Comes with instructions and hex wrench.

          The last mag I got the spring was really tight. I lowered the spring tension,
          making it a lot easier to load. No problems feeding.

            Nice idea. I just ball parked the spring tension, may have to adjust it after some use.

              The magazines are assembled by "special needs" folks.

              No, I'm not kidding.

              And every now and then somebody has gone above and beyond the call of duty tightening the spring.

                That's an interesting looking tool. While reassembling 10/22 magazines isn't rocket surgery I HAVE been known to launch the occasional part and maybe a bit of strong language from time to time.

                You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
                You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
