    You guys just don't get it! The Ruger 10/22 does NOT need any aftermarket parts to make it a 100% reliable and accurate rifle. It just needs lees than 1 hours work on the factory parts to get the...

    I trim up pieces of Bren mag springs. They are short enough between bends to fit a variety of short mag boxes. I have some spare pieces.
