Fix my gun Dlask issues, tell me yours.

I'm building out a couple Tuf-22's and the first was plagued by fitment issues between upper and lower. Now after significant work I've gotten a better match but some of my H3CR mags will not seat fully. Anyone have experience with this? Any other issues anyone has come across ?

My new Dlask build is stovepiping, and the HC3R doesn’t feed all that well compared to the factory 10-round rotary mag.

I did find that CCI Blazers seem to run okay in the mags. I’m still troubleshooting to see how I can make my Dlask build more reliable too. I swapped out my recoil spring for a lighter weight one last weekend, but I have not had a chance to test it yet.

I’m also thinking of shimming my mags to see if that will improve feed reliability. Slight movement does seem to impact feed reliability, and I'm using an SBI Superlight chassis, which has no magwell support.

A few of my HC3R stripper clips were also sticking, I think due to molding. I took a sharp flathead screwdriver and ran it up and down along the stripper clip channel (perpendicularly, i.e., | - | where the - is the screwdriver bit) to widen the channel slightly so the rounds feed better. But overall, I find the HC3R mags too fussy.

UPDATE: I took my rifle back to the range today and had a great session. The gun and magazines are now shooting great.

  • Cleaned rifle, removed dry lube and used regular gun oil
  • Changed recoil spring to a weaker one (my barrel is only 9" take that into consideration)
  • Properly stacked the HC3R magazines, this is the best method: https://www.reddit.com/r/canadaguns/comments/1469qr0/10_1022/
  • Installed a stronger magazine plunger spring.
  • Make sure the magazine is pushed all the way forward.
  • Changed ammo to Federal Automatch as per u/chatoyantlumber's recommendation, Blazers and CCI Mini-Mags also work very well. Aguila was constant jams.

I was able to shoot about 200+ rounds almost flawlessly.

I think the biggest improvement was the recoil spring. Using Federal Automatch also helped to feed more reliably as I noticed Agulia and Remington Golden Bullets still has some feed issues but Automatch did not. I no longer have stovepipes!

I also ordered some 12-24 UNC grub screws, which I installed in the mag well (where the V-block bolts go) to put pressure against the magazine. It seems to keep the mag from shifting!

Only half of mine seem to lock in, the other half almost do. I've got half the mind to widen the mag latch plunger or something

Did you change the plunger and spring to a stronger one?

I had to revert back to the stock plunger spring - the extra-strength DLASK plunger spring made it too difficult to seat the HC3R mags properly.

Also, I noticed it helps to push the mag forward once you have it seated so it engages both the front and back clips and is perfectly vertical.

Aguila Super Extra CPHP would not cycle well for me as well; not sure if it is the gun or mags. Remington Golden Bullet was hit or miss for me. I had the most luck with CCI Blazers 38gr. I picked up 1000rds of 40gr, which I will test this week.
I agree, the stripper clip concept is dumb and pointless.
It’s too bad Butler Creek or Ruger doesn’t make TUF22 magazines.

Replace your magazine plunger spring with a stronger one from either Kidd or Tandemkross. Feeding issues can result from the mags not seating firmly in place, making them "wobble", this is especially so for heavier high capacity mags. A stronger magazine plunger spring eliminates many issues

Their customer service lady is the worst. Was threatening to cancel my order because I decided to use EMT and ordered on the 3rd and hadn't paid yet. She was acting like I stole from them.

Oh I'm sure it is, nobody could hold that job with that attitude if they weren't throughly intertwined. Joe also ignored emails from me for weeks on end until I called three times to get through

They were on vacation for a month. He is selling the business to someone else

I bought a barrel from them a good while ago. I didn’t actually put the build together for a year or so, when I went to find a thread protector/muzzle device I quickly realized they threaded so much of the barrel I couldn’t find anything that would bottom out or completely cover the threads. Had to get a machine shop to make me a custom thread protector lol. I should have noticed just by looking at the thing but It didn’t even cross my mind. I’ve bought other barrels and other stuff from them and no problem but this one was a pretty big pain.

Tuf 22 is the biggest scam going

I cant believe people pay for this garbage, use 10 round mags and save your money

Or be like all the other fellows out there that have no clue that the BX25s are banned, they always tell me rimfire is unlimited capacity?

Some of us want to compete with full sized mags

The BX25 magazine is banned specifically because it is considered a pistol magazine for the Ruger Charger.

All pistols are limited to 10 rounds. Rimfire rifles have no round limit. The TUF-22 was a workaround so that it's magazines would not fit in a pistol. Great alternative for fans of the Ruger 10/22 robustness and reliability that want more than 10 rounds.

The loading clips on the H3CR mags can be pretty fussy. Check you-tube for a couple of videos on loading tips. I play it simple and load the rounds from the top. Have had great success using bulk Remington Thunderbolt ammo at matches. Advent Arms has taken over Dlask's remaining inventory, so you can contact us if you have any concerns.

I top load and still have issues. A lot of mags have fitment problems and sometimes have dead zones where there isnt upwards pressue on the rounds.

I built a tuf22, and my opinion this far has been the mags are just kind of shit.

Was at the range yesterday and finally got one of them feeling alright, I've been trying to pick around inside em to clear out burrs or whatever you wanna call em from the molding process when their made.

Also hit em with some of that lovely lube spray whose name I've forgotten, one of em worked great for about 40 rounds, the other still pretty fucked.

I've read online that wiggle in them is super common, mentioned something about adding a shim to them which I'll look at next I think.

I've had really good experience talking to dlask as well, maybe shoot em an email and see what they have to say and suggest as well.
