My eagle 10/22 mag keeps jamming?

Question

so i just bought a 30 round mag for my 10/22 from cheaper than dirt and it keeps jamming, anybody else having this problem and any idea of how i can get it to work right?

Answer 1

In my experience (a veteran born and raised in Idaho), only factory magazines are reliably consistent. I purchased a 29 rounder for my Glock 23 and several 25'ers for my 10/22 and they all jammed with high quality ammo. Since then, I make sure to have an ample supply of factory magazines for all my semi-auto's.

Answer 2

I hate to say this about your magazines but they are low budget garbage. They work for the last length of time of most of the Hi-cap aftermarket 10/22 mags.

I'm to the point I only shoot with factory 10/22 mags. Buy good ammo that is not too dirty and keep them clean.

Remington Sub-sonic shot fairly well but was so filthy dirty and clogged magazines with residue.  I switched to CCI  sub-sonic which helped a bunch for shooting through a licensed suppressed 10/22.

Answer 3

You're going to have to be a bit more specific as far as if it is jamming when pushing another round in or when it is ejecting the shell. The only way it could be associated with your mag is if ur shells are not high enough for the bolt to catch it and slide it into the chamber correctly. If it is the spent shell being caught as the bolt slides forward for the next shell then it is the round itself, and ur gonna need to find a new ammo that uses more powder. Try CCI's they are top of the line when it comes to 22lr

Answer 4

I had the same problem initially, with my hot lip mags.  They broke in, and work well now.  I still have more feed issues than with the factory mag., but they are few.

Answer 5

clean it a dirty gun is the leading cause of firearm malfunctions.

Answer 6

Eagle mags are c**p

Either get Butler Creek Steel lips or tick to factory, I have had the best luck with factory

Answer 7

I agree with the last answer! Ruger designed the rifle be lieveme as good as this company is they will send you the best mag.  It is nice to have 30 rnds when playing at the range, but when hunting if you can't hit it with 10 rounds you need to stay at the range.  CCI s are the most powerful bullet and like thesee guys keep saying Eagle is pretty cheap!  In the gun world If it cost more it is usually better.

Answer 8

well yea itz probrably kause it iz cheap, or u didnt apply bullet correctly, or u shoot the gun in the wrong position and probrably bullet fell out of place.. maybe juss shake  it  around and let the bullet fall out and apply bullet correctly .... hoped i helped P3@cE
