Best .22LR Magzine for dedicated AR upper?

[clutch]

I'm sitting here looking at my RRA .22 LR magazine and notice that the feed lips are plastic. I was thinking of buying a couple more as I'll soon be retired and have more time to shoot.

Does someone make a better one before I spend my money?

Thanks,

EDIT
Left out the word "Magazine" in thread title.

Full disclosure: I'm using mine with a conversion, but I've been very happy with the Black Dog 10-shot with steel feed lips.

I was thinking Black Dog when I asked but it was nice to get some confirmation. Two steel lips on the way.

Thanks very much,

I have the BlackDog 25 rounder and it doesn't have sufficient spring power to lift the last 5 rounds or so. I made a spacer block and only load it to 20 and it works well enough.

I haven't had any issues with all of the Blackdog magazines I have. I have several 10, 15, and 25 round mags. Blackdog mags are pretty much the standard for AR22 mags.

A lot of people like using the S&W M&P 15-22 magazines since you can have a fully functioning bolt hold open with them. But you either have to install a shim onto you lower or a shim onto each magazine in order for these to work in a standard AR lower.

I'm also using Black Dog mags with my Tactical Solutions .22 AR upper.

Blackdog mags work well with the el cheapo Chiappa upper as well. Though the only thing I am using from the Chiappa upper I bought years ago is the bolt and barrel. I replaced the polymer receiver with an aluminum receiver and went with a free float handguard years ago. That setup as it is now is actually reliable and pretty accurate. The Chiappa is a copy of the Tac Sol upper.

I haven’t had problems with any of the plastic feed lipped magazines. And I have put a very many through my two magazines. However, I would still like a few of the BlackDog magazines, too.

That will have to wait though, as I have just received an advertisement for my well liked CMMG rimfire magazines, for a scant ten clams a piece.
That’s two for one, a lot of rounds to have on hand for a range trip.

Nothing else than Black Dog mags, no complains.

Good mags. Mine are a mix of the S&W 15-22s with spacers, and Black Dog 15s and 25s in both plastic and steel lips. No problems with any of them.
FWIW I have a few other rimfires that use hi cap mags with plastic feed lips that are still going strong. But IMHO a steel lipped Black Dog will probably last the longest.
