Do the 597 mags fit the adapter? Lots of content online saying it doesn't even work?

The stock Adler adapter works in mine.

The SBI Ruger 10/22 adapter is a few mms too small and is loose.

Don’t forget to open bolt when inserting the adapter. My mag fell out a couple times until I read the warning printed directly on the Sbi adapter 😭 (didn’t happen on my Adler but did on my 10/22)

A little bit of filing on the 597 mags and it works well in the adapter, it took 15 maybe 20 mins per mag (go slow don't be aggressive). And my drum mag goes in and out nice and cycles fine.

I threw a layer of two of electrical tape around the outside of my adapter and it fits snug in the magwell, I avent had issues with it but I also might be lucky.

I accidentally pulled it out not knowing the adapter has its own release for the 597 magazines its a bit wobbly unlike my damn boating accident gsg-16 magwell those mags were shit atleast they sat

i mean can the 597 mag even go inside of the adapter? lots of videos and reviews showing the mags dont even fit the adapter hole

I think those videos are out of date. My December 2025 RF-224 fits the adapter and 597 magazines fine.

The 597 magazines don’t feed well, however, but I’ve only done about 80 - 100 rounds in each of my 6 ProMag 597 magazines.
