Saw these on your website, would love to purchase but theres no way these printouts are worth 25 $. Would be nice if they were more affordably priced lol.
Called ruger and emailed them, they won't ship you one now, told me no both times... I tried. I went to ebay. I got green stocks on my 7.62x39 and 5.56 american. I just like to toy with things. I got 5.56 magwell, the mini 30 one that came with rifle, and an AK magwell for the 7.62x39 one. The 5.56 one, I have both Ar magazines and the 5 round rotary just because I can really.
i have one of these and i really enjoy it. it's a handy little carbine. i found when i put the skinner sights scout rail on their it just upped the game even more.
I just use baking soda and super glue on the front of my magazine and then you can sand it to a custom fit works perfectly no more wobble and it only takes a few minutes
I was looking at getting one of these rifles, but the magazine was a turn off. I also have a 7.62x39 AR-15, so obviously having magazine cross-compatibility would be a great benefit. Glad to see I can easily convert one to accept the correct magazines.
I did this with my 300 blk that had the modular stock but came with the rotary mag. I called ruger and they sent me one no big deal. I sold that rifle and I have a x39 on layaway and I plan on doing the maxwell conversion again since I already have x39 mags already and they are more plentiful and cheaper. I'm surprised I didn't see this video when i was trying a solution before you put this video out I think.. oh well.
A very good idea. I love single shot rifles have been looking for a 22Mag. for years, found one in a pawn shop the owner would not give me a price, went in one day and it was gone. If you ever make some of these for the 22 mag. I will buy one no matter the price.
which ones do you use? I had ruger factory 10 rounder and it nosedived. My Ruger 20 rounder and 5 rounder seem to work ok. I think the options are to fiddle with it and spend money swapping things around, or just deal with a fairly frequent stoppage. It’s mostly a range toy for me, but it shoots so well that it would be an awesome package if the magazine system was ironed out.
There are AK mag weld conversions for this gun so this is just silly to switch from ruger to AR for an AK round. If you are shooting an AK round get the AK magazine
I love those. Interesting thing about it, The guy who makes them doesn't warranty it but they have worked with my romanian steel magazines, bulgarian polymer magazines, and the supported magpul magazines. However I have an AK in 5.56 as well and a ruger American in 5.56 and they actually worked in my rifle.
You just sold me on the ruger american x39. I really wanted one but the magazine situation was always a turn off. I don't have any AK AR mags, but they're affordable enough to justify buying 2-3 high capacity mags.
I just thought I would put this here. With an MDT (LSS Gen 2 for the Ruger American SA) chassis, this model rifle will require that you use an AR15 GI Issue magazines with their chassis insted of the Mini 30 mag. Now that I see that it does work, this means and MDT chassis is in my future!!!
I got a rpr the 10 shot mag is not ejecting from the mag release so I bought a 10,22 mag and I find it very good no slop ,the old ramline mags fit very well ,there old vintage mags they fit very well in the rpr no problum I like your review very much thankyou
thank you for the video. do not own a Mini 30 and reliable magazines are never cheap. picked up Duramag & ELander mags for cheap & couldn't be happier.
Thank you so much for this. I converted my x39 ruger american after watching this and it works well for the most part. You have to chamber the round in very forcefully to not have a hangup which is fine. Hollow points from underwood are a no go unless you put pressure on the front of the magazine. I also trimmed the front of the mag by the feed ramp on the gun and it seemed to help some
Is it the nose hitting? For me, it seemed to be the Wolf ammo I was using. When I switched over to some brass cased ammo, it fed much more smoothly. I normally shoot 123gr Wolf JHP, and I've not seen any deformation, just feels sticky as I push the round out of the magazine. I've shot a ton of other rounds out of it now too, and I've never had any issues with the bullet hanging, just the case. (I'm the guy that made this video, this is just my personal account instead of the business one.)
Will the magpul 7.62x39mm mags work with the part you had to "take liability" for? I have a ton of those as I have both an AK47 and AK pistol from Palmetto State Armory.
I bought my rpr December a year ago so December 2020 I got a hundred yard range 50 yd outside my front door and I'm retired I'm a retired Navy Chief and I have all the time in the world I wouldn't mind doing some testing for you if you still need somebody thanks Bob
I do not. There was a part number in the manual as I recall, but when I called support I couldn't just order the part number. They pulled my serial number and I had to explain what I was doing.
You just sold this rifle to me for Ruger. I been wanting one for a while, finally found one, & was kind of hesitant because of the price & availability of the mini30 magazines. I have a stack of x39 AR mags already, & you just verified what I'd been contemplating would work or not. Thank you sir, & you just gained me as a subscriber
Well, shit... I'd better get some more content up then. LOL Definitely was my goal when I picked up the rifle, and I"m glad I got the setup. I've heard from some people lately that they've had a tough time getting the support team to send them the part. Let us know how it goes for you.
