I really wish RUGER would mage the RUGER MK-3 & 4 Magazines out of stainless steel.

I know it might cost a few dollars more, but it would be worth it in my honest opinion.

I keep mine protected the best I can, but I would prefer they be made using stainless steel, like
S&W Victory.

If you agree tell the CEO of RUGER:

Nobody else agrees or has a comment?
 
I don't agree only because I'm perfectly happy with my mags as-is. Stainless steel would drive cost up with not much benefit and they're already costly.
 
Could you tell us what kind of problems you have with the mags. I have owned MK III mags, for a few years now, with no problems. I just bought a couple of new MK IV mags. They seem to be good, so far. My MKIII are for a 22/45.
 
I think that the magazine has not given any issues as is,so why make them out of stainless steal.
 
I doubt their current cost is driven much by materials

Current cost is not driven by material. But we're they to change material, there would be an increase and where does that increase get passed on to?

I like them the way they are. And, I find it hard to read BOLD enlarged fonts.

Thanks
what? You don't like this obnoxious text?
 
I like my mags just fine. But if material does not drive up cost, I'll take a few in platinum please.

And if they could make the hold down button thing (?) easier to grip that would be nice. My cubicle fingers hurt after loading 10 mags or so.
 
What the hell kind of rant is that? 1/10 maybe.

No problem addressed, no mindless cursing, no unnecesssary comparisons, no anger, no rage.

Go get your effin shine box and come back when you know how to rant.

Using one of those little plastic loading tools would help alleviate that problem.

This is an example for the Ruger MKII: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/527921/hks-magazine-loader-ruger-mark-i-mark-ii-22-long-rifle
This is another device which is compatible with more models: https://www.amazon.com/Browning-mag...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZR779J3PCDDEYWEDS1ZH

(There are a lot of other loading tools out there for various mags. Please be careful with respect to compatibility)
