Now that I am getting my Mini all dressed up, I am wanting to do some shooting. I would like the Forum's input on which magazines I should use, and those to stay away from. I have already heard about some of the "Aftermarket Polymer Magazines"--most say to stay away from them.
I'd like a few 20 rd mags, and a few 30 rd mags.
Open to suggestions.
Thanks, __________________

The Ruger factory 20 rounds are by far the best and most reliable. | |

I live about an hour from Centerfire Systems in Kentucky. I have bought 4 30 round magazines and 2 20 round magazines from them. All were Promag, all function flawlessly. I would recommend them. __________________ Darrel

I'm sorry to report that I bought 4 of the "PROMAG" Ruger Mini-14 .223
30 rd Polymer magazines- Model # RUG-A4..I loaded 1 mag with only 20 rds, just to see how it loaded, and
accepted the rounds to the weapon. I could NOT get ANY rounds to
load without jamming. I tried with all 20 rds, NONE would load correctly.
I have had NO problems with the rifle loading with other RUGER magazines.
I got these from a Dealer in Charlotte, NC; am attempting to return them
for full refund. Awaiting their reply to email I sent about this.... 
I did as KMO suggested, and got RUGER mags from that dealer. 4 mags for $100.00..not 2 bad..  __________________

I should have clarified. All of the promag magazines I bought were blued steel. __________________ Darrel

Have tried many othes over the years but find that Ruger factory magazines work the best. __________________
