Description

This lot consists of a collection of 5 high-capacity magazines manufactured by Butler Creek, specifically designed for use with Ruger 10/22 type rifles and compatible models. The group includes four “Steel Lips” variants and one “Hot Lips” variant. These magazines are constructed from a clear or smoke-tinted polymer, allowing for round counting, and feature a curved banana-style configuration. According to the original packaging, each magazine has a 25-round capacity and is designed to feed all types of .22 LR ammunition. Key markings transcribed from the retail packaging include “BUTLER CREEK”, “STEEL LIPS”, “BANANA MAGAZINE”, “NO FAIL FEED LIPS”, and “25 ROUND CAPACITY”. The labels indicate compatibility with the Ruger 10/22, Ruger 77/22, AMT Lightning, and various custom and import versions. The magazines utilize a constant force spring system for consistent loading and feeding. Note – All firearms accessories should be inspected for compatibility and local legal compliance prior to use.
