AR-15 Style .22lr Magazines

Post by Medic218 »

I'm in the market for a couple more .22lr mags for my Sig 522 since it only came with the one.
What are y'all's experience with different brands or AR style .22lr mags?
Which ones are quality and which ones are crap?

I may be mistaken, but I believe that the SIG 522 (like the S&W 15-22) uses a proprietary magazine. If so, you cannot interchange any other brand magazine into this gun. I would advise shopping for the lowest price on the SIG magazines.

The Sig 522 uses BlackDog magazines, which can be found at a number of places. 44mag.com seems to be one of the cheapest.

Good information SIGM4. I stand corrected.

Forgot to mention, most folks seem fairly happy with the Black Dog quality. I don't know if there are any other producers making this same type of mag.
