1. Why is this mag adjustable and no other 10/22 mags are? (return to top)
Out of the millions of Ruger 10/22 guns that have been manufactured, the receivers have some differences. We have been unable to determine size differences based on rifle serial numbers but have been able to demonstrate differences in mag fit between receivers. This means that one mag might fit well in gun A and not run at all in gun B. Most shooters will be able to take our TI25 mag right out of the package, load it up and start shooting. However, if you want to tune it up for your gun to get it to exactly fit, you have the ability to quickly precision adjust it to fit your gun using the supplied allen wrench to minimally turn the 4 cap screws in and out, thus increasing and decreasing the distance between the mag and the receiver mating surface. The adjusability of the mag means that it will fit ANY 10/22 perfectly.
2. If I need to, how hard is it to adjust the mag to make it fit perfectly in my gun? (return to top)
Its easy! Four cap screws on the top of the mag can each individually be screwed in or out as much or as little as is needed using the supplied 3/32" allen wrench to exactly position the mag in your gun. Once you get it where you want it, you can forget about it. You're ready for reliable feeding shooting fun.
3. I've had bad luck with other high capacity 10/22 mags. Why should this one be any better? (return to top)
A few reasons. (1) Other high capacity mags have the same problem that we initially encountered with our TI25 mag, which is the difference in Ruger 10/22 receivers. If you compare the mags from three high capacity offerings from different companies, you'll see that the mags are not the same. Each design is betting that their geometry will fit most of the 10/22's, and the fits are usually loose and sloopy to try to compensate for the receiver differences. Our patent pending ability to adjust it to you gun is unique and allows you to make it fit your gun the way you want it to. (2) Our TI25 mag allows you to disassemble the gun to clean the INSIDE of the mag to make sure it feeds as well after its been used as it did when it was new. (3) Our TI25 Machined Aluminum Mags are made from solid aircraft aluminum bars. Compare the strength to any other mag on the market and you'll see that we went the extra mile on this mag!
4. It all sounds great, but what if I get this one and don't like it for any reason? (return to top)

YOU HAVE NO RISK... ORDER TODAY!
5. Will this mag work in guns other than the Ruger 10/22? (return to top)
It will work in any gun that is designed to use a Ruger 10/22 mag, such as a Ruger 96/22 and 77/22 as well as guns such as the TEC22 without any problems. Note however, that we have had a lot of customers ask about using it in a full auto Fleming M11/9 SMG .22 conversion. The mag will work 100%. That does NOT mean that our TI25 mag will make your Fleming .22 conversion kit work. The issues we've had fall on the manufacturing tolerances associated with the Fleming kits. Our mag does have the ejector on the mag and you can adjust it to try to compensate for manufacturing tolerance differences in the kits. So if the kit is going to work, you should be able to make it work better with this mag than any other mag. If the kit is just not going to work, this mag is not going to make it work either.
6. Do you offer, or plan to offer this mag in .22 WRM (magnum)? (return to top)
The mag is not available in .22 Magnum and based on insufficient demand, we have no plans at this time to develop that product.
7. Can I buy replacement parts, such as springs, feedlips and follower if I ever needed to? (return to top)
Of course! The benefit of having parts that you can replace is being able to replace them. We have springs, followers and stainless steel feed lips available for sale for replacement parts. Even better than that, you know that you'll always have a source for the parts no matter what since we use Butler Creek compatible parts, which could also be obtained by simply smashing them out of a Butler Creek plastic mag if you have any that are no longer functional.
8. Will the mag run fullauto as well as in a semiauto gun? (return to top)
Full auto or semi, your choice. We test with off the shelf semi auto current production Ruger 10/22 semi auto guns as well as Norrell Fullauto 10/22 conversions.
9. Do you have dealer / quantity wholesale pricing? (return to top)
We offer quantity and dealer discounts to bonafide resellers and FFL holders. Simply fax a copy of your FFL or retail sales tax permit for your state that reflects a business associated with firearms, sporting goods etc and we will provide wholesale pricing.
10. Do you have any other color than black? (return to top)
Based on customer feedback, we offer mags in 4 different finishes to best suit your application and gun appearance. We have:
Anodized GLOSS ALUMINIM which compliments stainless steel firearms,
Anodized SATIN GLOSS BLACK which compliments polished blued firearms,
Anodized MATTE BLACK finish for the tactical look to compliment blued firearms
LIQUID CERAMIC MATTE BLACK to compliment firearms that are finished with similar finishes (costs and additional $5.95 / mag due to additional application and material costs).
- Additional anodized colors (red, blue etc.), in either matte or satin gloss, are available on a special order basis for an additional $5.00 per mag, with a minimum order of 100 mags per each color.
11. How does this mag compare to competitors' steel lip magazines? (return to top)
There is no comparison... Our TI25 mag is made from machined aircraft aluminum, not inexpensive plastic. Our TI25 mag can be disassembled to clean the inside to ensure continued reliable feeding. Our TI25 mag can easily be precision adjusted to exactly fit your gun. And, we stand behind our mags. We're so proud of it, we put our web address on the sides of every mag so there's never any question of how to get in contact with us. No other Ruger 10/22 mag manufacturers offer these features.
12. Can you make mags that will hold more than 25 rounds? (return to top)
Single stack mags over 25 rounds quickly diminish in reliability. We've tested higher capacity mags and would rather give you a 25 roudner that we know will work well rather than a higher capacity mag that only works sometimes.
13. Does the mag have an ejector on the mag? (return to top)
The mag does have an ejector on the stainless steel feed lip insert. The ejector on the mag can be adjusted to the bolt of the rifle for positive ejection everytime.
14. Are there any restriction of where this mag can and can't be shipped? (return to top)
We don't make the laws, but some states and localities prohibit the sale and or possession of mags over various capacities. We can't possibily keep track of all the local restrictions so its your obligation to determine the legality of the mag in your state and local area before ordering. We will not ship to CA, MD, NJ, DC or where otherwise restricted. No exceptions. We also do not ship internationally, including Canada, no exceptions.
15. Can I get a mag without the tacticalinc.com on the side? (return to top)
All mags are manufactured identically and the engraving is done as part of the manufacturing operation. We're proud of our mags and want to make sure that you and everyone else knows what mag you use thats working. Of course we also rely on the engraving for advertising, so when you're blasting away and your buddy has used his last plastic mag for a target and wants to know where you got your mag, you'll have our web address handy...
16. What should I use to clean the mag? (return to top)
Just disassemble it and clean it with warm soap and water and a soft brush. Then dry it with a hair dryer or just let it air dry. Put a shot of oil on the spring and reassemble and you're ready to go.
17. Can I clip 2 of them together (one up, one down) like other brands? (return to top)
We intentionally designed the mag so you couldn't clip 2 of them together. The additional weight of the second mag with the additional leverage makes it a lot to be in the gun at one time. Your reliability will decrease if the weight of the second mag allows the shooting mag to move in the gun at all. Its easier and works better to just carry the second mag in your back pocket...
18. Can I use a mag loader, like the Butler Creek model? (return to top)
We've tested both the Butler Creek loader and the Ramline loader. The Butler Creek loader works very well and we offer it on our webpage. We do NOT recommend the Ramline loaders because they have no "feel" when loading the bullets and they will often crush the bullet to be loaded into the bullet that is already in the mag, thus putting a dent in at least one of them. When you try to run the mag, the dented bullet often will not go into the chamber and the mag gets blamed for jamming. Load by hand if you want 100% reliability. It takes longer but works everytime. For plinking, use the Butler Creek loader available on our webpage. Avoid the Ramline loader.
19. How much is shipping on this mag? (return to top)
Shipping costs vary depending on the carrier you prefer and you geographic location. Shipping options are available on our shopping cart as part of the Checkout Process. Generally, priority mail for one mag can go for approx $7.50 Even if you want to order with a check or money order, order online and at checkout simply select the "Check/Money Order" option which will allow you to select your shipping option along with its corresponding price and it will allow you to print out an order form to send with your payment so that we can get your order shipped correctly as fast as possible.
20. Does the brand of ammo make any difference in reliabilty? (return to top)
100% it does! If the ammo does not have sufficient power to blow the bolt back and eject the case each time, the gun can't run regardless of the mag you use. First choice for power and reliability would be CCI Minimags, which are also the most expensive. In the bulk ammo, Remington Gold and Federal HV Hollowpoints are about the same. The Winchester Wildcats are often underpowered and have unreliable primer ignition. So test with Minimags and then run the bulk ammo is the course that most shooters take.
21. Is your TI25 Mag guaranteed for life like another brand USED TO BE? (return to top)
Everything has a useful life span. We don't know what the life expectancy on our mags is since no one has ever worn one out. Also, no othe mag manufacturer that we are aware of currently offers a life time guarantee. We are confident that our mag will give you good service well in excess of the purchase price. However, if you ever encounter a problem that you believe is not within the range of the quality of our mag, please contact us and we will do what we believe is fair to resolve the problem. Your satisfaction and repeat business are our primary concerns.
22. What if I bought one of your first generation mags that were not adjustable and want an adjustable one instead? (return to top)
Most of the non-adjustable first generation mags ran perfectly and customers bought additional ones. However, if you purchased one that won't run in our gun, or you just would prefer an adjustable one, we're happy to swap it for you. Just mail your mag along with your contact info and a check, cash or credit card info for $6.50 PER MAG for return shipping and handling and we'll have a new one on the way back to you asap. |
