10+ 10/22

Hey lads, here's an instructional video on clip loading the Dlask Tuff-22 mags. Since learning the right technique these have worked exceptionally well for me. Using the stripper clips offers a few very nice perks, mainly speed of reloading an empty mag. Although they're also easier to load with gloves/cold fingers and the spare clips can be reloaded by a friend while the mag is in use. If you find the clip system isn't worth the hassle you've still got a high quality reliable 25 round mag with a follower button to assist in loading. 1400rnds+ only 4 malfunctions through my 10/22 TD. I've shot a lot of 22LR semis and I've had the most fun with the least headaches using my (heavily modded) 10/22. These 4 mags which come with 2 clips each and I bought a 5 pack of clips too (13 clips total) allow me to shoot 280 rounds before needing to crack another box of ammo.

Suffice it to say I feel the cost of having my receiver modded to accept them and the price of the mags themselves was WELL worth it. As I've shown here you can save a few bucks by not getting the speed loader too! Feel free to ask any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer them.

Enjoy extended mags, plink on, run drills, and put some respect on the ol' Ruger 10/22 my dudes haha.

Thanks, appreciate the info.

Do not remove the spring, lmfao. I’ve never been in a scenario where removing any spring went well. Now, that being said, I’ll ping you back here after I don’t heed your advice and remove the spring.

This is the adult equivalent of “don’t touch that, it’s hot.”

Happy to help! I'm curious to know how you've set up your 10/22?

My dude, I cannot stress enough that no good can come from removing that spring 😂 Reinstallation required 4 hands and a scary amount of tension on a piece of metal with enough stored energy to slice your finger open. No beuno, no need to do it too either as I've learned. Cleaning the front side of the spring is dead simple. To wipe the reverse just slip a patch between it and the mag body then shimmy it along. Very simple, minimal hassle.

I’ve got a takedown, and honestly I’m pretty pleased with it. Upgraded all of the little things->buffer pads (meh), trigger (bx1-awesome), bolt release. I hated the stock and just got a new one from adaptive tactical that feels phenomenal (tk22), this took it from a gun that was too small for me to one that feels like a rifle. I put the stock on but I haven’t used it yet.

My intent for the gun was to learn to shoot, shoot cheaply (omg why did I get a type 81), and to have something I can hit varmint at 100y. I’m happy to hit the 5” gong because gophers aren’t little. 5000 rounds in or so and I’m just getting starting to shoot for accuracy, as much as I can with this thing. Messing around with all different types of ammo atm, trying to find a favourite.

I want to get these 25 mags because 10 rounds just isn’t enough for plinking, I’d prefer to carry 2 mags rather than 5 if I ever do go hunting, and I think the gov is going to make it super hard, somehow, to get these ordered in the near future.

For those who love to say “just drill out the rivet” on the Ruger extended mags, I have to terrible luck and don’t fuck around when it comes to laws.

If I were to touch that rivet, while I was doing it my house would get swatted, but accidentally because of an address screw up, and I’d somehow end up in prison.

So $60 to mod the gun? Sounds good!

Can’t wait to release the spring.
