Ruger 10/22 15rd mags BX-15

Featured Replies

not sure if ya'll were aware,since the new Ruger Charger pistol is now available Ruger has released a new BX-15 15rd magazine. The BX-15™ magazines will work with any factory original Ruger® 10/22® rifle, SR-22® rifle, and 22 Charger™ pistol.

 

Not super cheap but http://shopruger.com/BX-15-22-Caliber-15-Round-Magazine/productinfo/90463/

That's good for NJ-ans...

 

But it's a bit expensive at the moment.

I've got two on the way... hopefully they work as well as the BX-25 works in free states :)

I might pick a couple up to use with my bullpup 10/22. Those should make it a lot easier to load without having to contort my hand.

When I was looking for these mags on the net the other day, I stumbled upon a modular bull pup style handgun that accepts the 10/22 mags. Think it was called a zip22? It mounts to the handguard on an AR platform. Is that thing legal here? I know there's a weight limit of .50 Oz for pistols that accepts a magazine outside the grip. The other question is can you mount a handgun on a rifle? I searched the forum for this topic but came up with zero results.

Yes the Zip 22 is NJ legal.

Thanks, don't think I'm buying one just curious.

Every review I read about that thing mentions how the owner feels lucky to get through a whole magazine without a misfeed...

Good to know.

Unfortunately, the funky sci-fi looks and dangerous thrills from putting your hands in front of the business end of the ZiP gun didn’t make up for a generally poor showing at the range. Even after installing the Upgrade Kit Version 1.0.1, which was released due to some excessively tight tolerances in early guns, she just wouldn’t run reliably.

 

The ZiP ships with two sets of recoil springs: stiff for high-test loads and light for target/bulk loads (factory-installed default). You can “tune” your action to your ammunition’s power level. Due to the low mass of the reciprocating parts, the bolt speed is extremely high and the spring rates are particularly important. The design leaves no room for bolt overtravel (which normally adds some delay to a semi-auto action).

 

The ZiP™ was consistently plagued with failures to feed. The bolt is often moving forwards before the magazine can lift the next round up into place. Even when it does feed, the bolt would often come forward so quickly that the ejecting empty brass was caught before it could escape the gun. These failures created some unique jams with empty brass smashed up somewhere in the ejection port and a new round partially fed into the chamber. ...

 

... After the Upgrade Kit, some polishing, some graphite lube, extremely careful assembly, a handful of ammo brands to test and some encouraging words, I had the ZiP running better. It actually made it through a couple of BX-1 10-round magazines in a row without a jam. That was, however, not the norm. I spent more time during my range session clearing jams than shooting. On average, it would jam at least once per magazine, and this was a major improvement from pre-upgrade. ...

Got a chance to shoot the BX-15's tonight. Whole box of Remington Golden Bullet and it ate everything! Definitely my favorite purchase for the 10/22.

Just FYI - spotted 2 or 3 BX-15 mags today in Sarco in Easton on my way to EFGA. I think they were $22 each + tax... Nice looking mag - I wish I shot 10/22 more...

I wish I shot 10/22 more...

I have two of them for two years and six ten round magazines. I maybe shot 30 rounds through one of the 10/22. Don't feel bad. I should.

Probably silly question. But is the 10/22 Charger legal in NJ?

its 50.08 oz as is, so it's .08 over weight, been wondering myself

Any dealers sell this in NJ? If legal, I'll empty my piggy bank tonight!

Just wondering if you were able to get the charger down to 50oz by maybe cutting the stock down would it be legal then?

The law is MANUFACTURED weight.

Visit NJ where laws are made to protect criminals not the innocent

Especially if the criminals hold elected office

For me, one of the things I love about the 10/22 is that the standard magazine is flush.   That's partially why I choose it over a Marlin, etc. 60, 70, or a Savage, etc.
