Any after market companys makings these mags?
Ruger American issues:
I picked up my Ruger American in 308 2 weeks ago.
Took it out and sited it in.
Consistently shooting MOA groups.
Problems with the cheap magazine.
It will not consistently feed the rounds up to the gun.
Called Ruger they sent me a free new mag in 4 days.
Problem the second one was no better than the first one.
I shot some Hornady One Shot lube into it and it works better but it still jams at times.
The second one I took apart its just plastic clips holding it together.
I wound the feeder bar around one more turn to get greater spring tension.
It is now working but for how long? Who knows.
I absolutely love the gun and caliber and the price is right at $400 out the door.
It will be a super brush gun for hiking the mountains at 6 lbs.
I would suggest someone start making after market mags for it at a reasonable price and they could make some nice coin selling them to the public and maybe to Ruger because they need to change there current supplier.
