No intent to start a war about storing mags loaded or unloaded. BUT...
I have always kept all of my mags loaded that way I could just grab 'em and go when I went to the range which was usually every week or two. I decided that since I havn't taken my 10/22s out in a year that I would clean them and oil them to store until ammo is more plentiful, saving what .22lr I do have for my kids rifles.
I decided that I would empty the mags also...and 4 out of 5 BX-25s were locked up:banghead: I could not get them to feed rounds by hand or either rifle. When I finally did get them out the rounds were destroyed just the 1 round on 3 of them but 2 rounds on the first mag. The ammo was Blazer bulk 40gr and M22, 2 mags each. The fifth mag was in the rifle but no round chambred.
Hope it was just a freak thing but wanted to give a heads up to ya'll. I will post some pics of the rounds I got out later
*** m22 i stamped super x. I never noticed that
