Feets / Collection / My build Remington 597 adapter

Post image

So i got the remington 597 adapter for my 10/22 and im kinda disappointed. I have to hold the bolt open when i insert the magazine or they just fall out and even so if you manipulate the gun aggressively the magazine still work themselves out. I put a strip of electrical tape on the front face of the magazines and that helped a bit but im just wondering if this is just a normal experience or i got a defective adapter? Dont flame me for the barrel length i ran out of money with the chassis. Short barrel coming soon.

The pro mags are poorly made and as mentioned require “fitting” to get working nicely. Other alternative is look for a Remington branded magazine. It should fit a bit better and lock in better. They are harder to find and more expensive when you do find them and sometimes require some smoothing too. There’s no easy high capacity mags for a 10/22 unfortunately. I was kinda holding out hope someone can make an adapter that takes derya tm22 mags.

Promags are so bad that that bullets jam on the magazine retainer notch! But when they work, they work "OK", however, lately I have the HC3R TUF-22 magazines working really well in my 10/22 SBI Superlite /w DLASK receiver.

It's too bad no one has released better quality magazines for the 597 to use in a 10/22.
