The firearm thread

[leathel]

One day I will drag the Stirling out I have and clean it up, old owner was a bit hard on it but it was still working when I was given it, I have a Rem 597 Stainless Laminate that I mostly use if I want a semi, Brno mod 2 is mostly what I use though

[peril 787b]

anyone after some rifles?

I have a marlin 30-30, scoped 308mxlr (not really going to sell), norinco jw15 .22, some turkish pump action shottie (lead only) catches the spent cases in the action every now and then, baikal shotgun side by side.

Think thats all, open to offers :P

Could be interested in the JW-15, what's your location and what's condition of said rifle? How much $$ you asking?

The mrs's step father is selling some of his firearms, a Miroku shotgun and a Ruger .22 semi auto

He says the Ruger has a straight clip and I can't find any other type of Ruger semi a part from the 10/22, so I'm going to assume that they used to come with straight clips before the rotary mags?

I assume the action etc is all the same?

if it's bolt action could just be an older rifle.
if it's semi auto either it's an old one that uses the mkI or II pistol magazine, or it's a 10/22 semi auto using an after market magazine.
I'd be a bit careful if it's a stick mag on a 10/22.
I'm assuming it'll be A catergory, therefore anything over 15 rounds will be illegal.
if it's the bolt action that takes the same mags as the 10/22 then it doesn't matter, anything goes.

[Indiana_Jones]

Whoops, should have said it was a semi auto .22, not a bolt action.

10 round mag, he said it was an older rifle (I'm thinking 20+ years).

hmmm sounds interesting.
I've done a bit of browsing and can't find a .22 ruger semi rifle that doesn't use rotating mags. I can only think maybe one of the after market mags is being used but has a block over 10 rounds.

or as I said, something based around the mkI or II pistol.

the 10/22 has been around for quite a few years now, 30ish I think.

pictures would probably help, got me curious.

[leathel]

10/22 dates back to the early 60's and to my knowledge the only semi .22 rifle Ruger did was 10/22

they did semi pistols and different Cals of coarse but if it is Ruger then it a weird mag as I though they only did the rotary

A pic says a thousand words... post up a pic of it

[Indiana_Jones]

Just found out it is a 10/22, but no picture.

He sounded pretty sure it had a straight clip.

Maybe something like this?

Ruger 10/22 production dates from 1964, ruger has a database for serial number/production dates.

Ruger has only produced the 10 shot rotary mags or the 25 clips.

a couple of aftermarket companies have produced magazines, butler creek for a start. but the rotary mag is still current ruger propriety rights
hence arm's corp can only copy the ruger not the magazine at the moment.

there are snail drums for the 10/22 ( ultra collectable )

[Indiana_Jones]

Going by the serial number this 10/22 was made in 1992.

I'll just have to assume it's a rotary mag and he's got it wrong. I'll see when/if I get it at the end of the year.

How wide is the top of the magazine?

The one in the photo looks like an after-market 25 round mag. They can still have the top section fitting into the magazine well that the OEM rotary magazine fits into.


"Clip" is a naff americanism. In the English speaking world we use the word "magazine".

who invented stripper CLIPs?

[jono035]

Pretty sure he meant that incorrect use of the term 'clip' to refer to a magazine is an Americanism.

[caseye]

Nope, it's a 15 round banana mag with rotary feed at the top where it goes into the action, mystery solved.
The fifteen round mags were usually made by Butler Creek but others also copied them.Most of these clips jammed continuously, bloody nuisance on a 10/22.

The only type of "clip" is that given to unruly children's ears.

Fuck the PC bullshit.
