OK. don't post much hear. just look and read / learn . BUT i picked up a nice new mini14 tactical at bradis last weakened . does any one make a good magazine for them ? other than RUGER ?

The ruger factory 20 round mags work best in mine. The aftermarket ones just don't seem to be reliable.

In my experience, you can count on Ruger factory magazines; anything else. you're taking a chance.

I have used a few of these with no problems in mine, but that doesnt mean it will be the same for yours either.


RUGER® MINI-14® 223 30RD MAGAZINE O.E. - MAGAZINES

No Sir.....

New mini 14 factory mags are now only a fraction of what they used to sell for. Dont screw around with discount mags; buy the real thing.

 

[Dudelittle]

Yeah stick to factory mags. A friend has been thru 3 non factory with then all cracking.

 

[fast eddy]

thanks every one.

 

[Sratch16]

Factory mags. No doubts.

Go on Midway, Buds ,Academy , CTD etc and read the reviews of purchasers of the respective items , factory Ruger and aftermarket.
My SIL had a Mini and used some 30rd aftermarket mags, he was lucky like BK above and his worked fine.
However if you read a lot of reviews you'll see that the aftermarkets in general are more hit and miss.

Factory is always the best, I think I used a couple of older mags made by i believe federal ordinance but not sure. If buy aftermarket id stick to steel mags all the plastic ones ive tried have failed. I think nutnfacy does a video solely on this.
