Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1037:
Description
This lot consists of a group of 5 Butler Creek Banana Magazines designed for the Ruger 10/22, Ruger 77/22, and AMT Lightning rifles chambered in .22 LR. The collection includes two distinct variations of the clear polymer 25-round capacity magazines: three Hot Lips models and two Steel Lips models. The Hot Lips magazines feature high-impact polymer feed lips, while the Steel Lips units are equipped with precision-cast stainless steel feeder lips designed for enhanced durability and feeding reliability. The Steel Lips packaging further indicates compatibility with Star Clips for joining three magazines together. Each unit features a constant-force spring and a clear body that allows for immediate visual verification of remaining ammunition rounds. Key markings on the packaging include the Butler Creek logo and the Banana Magazine model designation, along with specific compatibility notes for Ruger 10/22, Ruger 77/22, and AMT Lightning firearms. As modern firearm accessories, these magazines do not require a federal 4473 background check.
