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.

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.

Good call man. 22LR is a great way to get training reps in cheaply. I've customized mine so much you can hardly tell what it is haha. I like researching and modding almost as much as shooting these days. Personally mine's been great reliability wise with CCI SV and Blazer. I just have an RDS on it and have been shooting drills inside 50yds so I can't speak to what ammo will group the best for you. Enjoy the rifle though man, can't go wrong with the 10/22 in my opinion, especially if you're going to do some mods to get it set up right for you.

Shipped my rifle off to Dlask. They told me it would take a month due to backlog. They received it this morning, modded it this afternoon, and are shopping it back tomorrow.

No complaints there!

Congrats man! That's awesome news, 1 month mid summer would be a bit rough aha. I'll post my rig for your viewing pleasure.
