Ruger 10/22 high capacity mags

I need some advice on high cap mags for Ruger 10/22s. I know Ruger makes some and that's what I'll look for unless someone knows of something better. I picked up two more 10 rd. Ruger mags at Arms Room today but I want to have one or two hi caps.

Ruger BX-25. The end.

Sounds good to me. Got any idea where in the Houston area? Arms Room just had Butler Creek.

Haven't tried the new ruger mags, I have a pair of machined aluminum ones on the market here if you're interested.

The two metal-lipped Butler Creek magazines I have work well, too, but you can't take them apart for cleaning like you can with the BX-25s. The Butler Creek mags have little lego-ish nubs built into them so you can join two (or more, I suppose) together, but I don't like how that makes adjacent magazines upside-down relative to each other:

This shows Butler Creek's orientation:

I'd prefer something like this (sized for 10/22 magazines, of course):

Like this?

I have a Butler Creek mag and have NEVER had more than 6 rounds fire without a FTF.

Have zero knowledge of the Ruger offering.

Before Ruger came out with their product, Tactical Innovations was pretty much the gold standard for machined aluminum steel lip 25 round 10/22 mags.

Yep, that's how mine fit together and I don't like it. Mine function fine, though.

If I remember right, there is a 30rd Eagle mag on the "pay it foward" thread. I know many people don't like them because of the plastic lips, but mine has never had a failure.

I too have some Butler Creek mads. They are not reliable to say they are 100%, but not junky enough for me not to use them. I get maybe three FTF out of every two mags. Its not a gun I rely on for protection and the mags are cheap so it doesn't bother me too much.

I've used a lot of butler creek mags. The plastic lipped ones work fine if you just do a little "fitting" with a pocketknife on the lips and the U-notch on the rear between the two lips. wiggle the mag around and work the bolt to find where it drags, clean up the mold seams etc...
