Re: My custom 10/22 mag extension
Forgive me for being gun stupid but what exactly will that allow you to do..?
Re: My custom 10/22 mag extension
Ah, sorry, I forgot if you don't have a 10/22 you don't know the shortcomings. The stock mag release isn't exactly the easiest to manipulate. That little button where the new piece is attached is the mag release. With a stock mag release, you push that button with your thumb which theoretically releases the mag into your waiting hand. In actuality, the mag binds because your thumb is pushing against the mag at the same time that you're pushing on the release. So this makes it much easier to push the button and release mags.

Faster shooting action with added rounds.
Re: My custom 10/22 mag extension
I thought I was going to see some funky way that you extended the actual magazine to hold more rounds. :laugh: Looks good. :thumbup: I need to build me a 10/22
Re: My custom 10/22 mag release extension
Woops, changed the title. I forgot to add "release". :D
Re: My custom 10/22 mag release extension
I've wanted a 10/22 for some time now. Maybe someday. Good job on the mod.
Re: My custom 10/22 mag release extension
Nice mod. It sucks trying to get that clip out conventionally when your hands are cold and numb.

BTW, I'm not building anything...My goal is to spend as little money as possible on my 10/22. So far I've done a trigger job, bolt release mod, small bolt chamfer, and now the mag release, all done myself. Next is to get the stock barrel rechambered by nemohunter on rimfirecentral, and possibly bed and free float. Ok, maybe I'm building a little, but it's going to be a sleeper. So far the only money I have into it is a $50 simmons scope, $10-20 in sling swivels and sling (for appleseed), and a bunch of mags and maybe only 8-12 hours of time.
Maybe I should turn this into a build thread.
