Kindy 0 Posted December 17, 2012 I'm a first time purchaser trying to understand the confusing banned vs legal laws here in NJ. I'm looking at the Ruger 10/22 - it seems to be legal but I want to double check before I buy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recon Racoon 49 Posted December 17, 2012 10/22 is legal. Some after market stock options may not be thought. But in its normal configuration, you're good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattH 0 Posted December 17, 2012 If they weren't legal a good majority of us would be in big trouble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruger9 0 Posted December 17, 2012 Also- the 25 round capacity magazine is not legal, only the 10-rounder (the one that comes with it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidskin 3 Posted December 17, 2012 Are there any 15 round mags available? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruger9 0 Posted December 17, 2012 Ive not seen one, but I haven't looked specifically for 15-rounders for the 10/22. I don't think so- the only states the 25 rounders are illegal in is NJ, MA, and CA, I think. No one is going to manufacture a mag specifically for 3 states.

Well, both Beretta and Smith and Wesson manufacture NJ Legal mags for the Px4 Full-size and M&P9 Full size. So there are some companies that do it just for NJ. If you really wanted a 15 rounder 10/22 magazine, one of the forum vendors could probably pin it for you. But a Tri-mag adapter or Quad adapter would probably be cheaper.

liquidskin 3 Posted December 17, 2012 Shooting with a pinned 25 rounder is likely to draw some adverse attention. Not worth it for 5 more rounds. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've read about police showing up at certain ranges when a firearm looks questionable. Looking to avoid that.

this_is_nascar 162 Posted December 17, 2012 The Tri-Mag adapter is the best solution. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquidskin 3 Posted December 18, 2012 Just checked out a youtube video of the tri mag adapter, that thing is pretty sweet. Are there any good thumb saver/magazine loaders for the 10/22? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I just bought an Archangel "thumb saver", havent used it yet. 2 companies make speedloaders, but they are big and cumbersome.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Every one that I tried on mine took longer than it did by loading manually. It's not like you're loading more that 10-rounds at a time, in addition, the spring load isn't that rough on the fingers/hand as far as I'm concerning. Now, if you're talking about loading a 15-rounds 9mm mag, that's a different story . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
