Gun and gear reviews Adler Arms 597 Adapter vs SBI Adapter

Post image

Alder Arms adapter works well with 22 rnd mag but it does not fit the 30 rnd rotary mag.

SBI adapter works well with both. No Jams, FTE or FTF with CCI mini mags. 200 rnds no issue.

What i did personally was sand my drums so they operate smoothly with the RF224 adapter. There is also a bit of technique, you need to pull on an angle. Now when I use them with my SBI adapter, I absolutely have to have the bolt open when inserting or else the drum falls out on the first shot. Having used the SBI adapter though I greatly prefer it for both my 10/22 and my RF224. For whatever reason it actually seems to work better. I can empty a drum without a hiccough probably 50% of the time. I guess some people hate that , but I hate the 22 round mags so much I almost refuse to try them again

i went through 3 fills of both drums today, 180 rounds and had 2 misfires. Had to manually cycle the bolt a couple more times on top of that. If either style of mag were available anywhere id probably pick up another.
