Hey everyone,
I was able to trade my Glock 23 with some ammo for a Mini 14 yesterday.
What can I say I simply love this weapon.
It came with some cheap plastic mags which I practically gave to my boss yesterday.
It did come with scope rings which is very nice!
I had one of these a long time ago and had to sell it when my daughter was born. I am happy I was able to replace it with the 581-xxxx which is said to be a little more accurate. I will add pictures later and range report. The reason for the post is to inquire about magazines. See poll above..
I want to get Ruger factory mags for this. I am not sure I want two 20 round mags or one 20 round magazine and one 30 round magazine. Check out the video with the 30 round mag. If you dont want to watch the whole thing the 30 round is at 7:00 and the twenty is just before that. This is not mine but mine looks similar with a black stock and a thicker barrel.

I could just spring for 2 of the 20 rounders and 1 of the 30 rounders but a bit out of budget right now though doable. These mags are expensive unlike my AR-15 mags which are relatively cheap. Here is the sale price at midway.

Also, are these chambered in 5.56 as the receiver says .223?
