Join Two Ruger 10-round Stock Magazines?

[tbhausen]

Anyone make anything like a Tri-mag, that joins two stock 10/22 mag's "bottom to bottom"? I want something that will fit with my ATI stock folded. Quick search bombed... TIA

I've seen something like that in the past, but for the life of me I can't remember where... Sportsman's Guide or Cheaper Then Dirt maybe?

Can always try chewing gum... or superglue...

Found it! 10/22 Accessories Close to the bottom of the page. Only $7.95.

Found it cheaper at Brownells. But be aware that it requires that you superglue your mags to the clip holder. It is getting poor reviews at Brownells for that reason.

That is one big advantage to the trimag design- you can easily add or remove your mags at any time. I would prefer a dual-mag due to the bulky nature of the trimag, but not if I have to glue them together.

Hi Cap. 10-22 mags.

It seems to me that a Hi Cap. (20-30 round) single magazine would make more sense??

You could use a Tri-Mag, but just leave one of the slots empty.

It would until you actually try them. Some people have had good experiences, but too often the 3rd-party hi cap magazines have been unreliable. The best is the TI25, which does work well (I have one), but it is very expensive. The Ruger 10-round rotary mags are very reliable.

The 20 and 30 round magazines also make it extremely difficult to shoot prone.

True. Definitely a problem for Appleseed shooting. I'm considering your suggestion on a 2/3s trimag. I want something that can fit in my rifle-case pockets and that might work. I've had it on my wish list at Midway, but haven't been willing to "pull the trigger" yet.

I'd think that even as close to the centerline and compact as those mags are, it would still throw off the balance to whichever side the extra mag was on if you only had 2 on the tri-mag... one would be offset...

I've never noticed a balance problem when I've done it, but I'm admittedly not a precision shooter, either.

I have two sets of these dual superglued mags for each of my Appleseed rifles. They work fine. Clean up the mags and plastic with Denatured Alcohol or similar and then use a slow super glue and it works fine.

Allows you to get a hold of to reload much easier.

Thanks guys for finding these. Wish they went together like a Tri-mag. Decisions, decisions...

FYI: Trimags are a little cheaper from Brownell's than Midway. I've seen IndyJoe's dual-mag setup and I was interested until I found out that you have to glue them together. I've also seen a "quadmag" which additionally requres glue but also has space in the middle for even more round storage.

Here's the link for Brownell's for the dual clip and the quad clip RUGER® 10/22® QUAD-CLIP & DUAL-CLIP HOLDER - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools and the trimag ALANGATOR LLC. : RUGER® 10/22® TRIMAG™ - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools

and pictures of all three:

All of that said, I have trimags and for the most part, I like them (for some weird reason I've not taken time to determine, my mags don't sit evenly on one of my trimags like they do on the others)

Blessings,
