just talked to a gun dealer at local gunshow in regards to Mag research 17 and 22 mags.He has sold 25-30 of them mostly 17 hmr and had to send most all of them back to company when they would blow the ruger clips out of the gun.The gun dealer even had pieces lodge into his leg from his 17hmr and when he sent customers 17 hmr's guns in they came back as 22 mags.Sounds like a major pressure issue here,if you have one might want to beware??I want one in 22 mag and see a few for sale..

Just a wild guess.
It happens a lot on the 10/22 with that stock, too. You're getting side pressure on the magazine and the feed lips are out of position in relation to the bolt.
I've got a couple of links for you to read through, then you can determine how you want to proceed.
Hogue stock fit solution
More stock fix advice
22 mag. hi-cap magazines
What I found on 10-22s is, the magazine needs to drop free and there has to be a slight amount of "wiggle room" when it's locked in and hanging from the front/rear pins, or you'll have feed issues. The space between the feed lips and the bolt needs to be very tight, without rubbing. If the mag is free to move, it will "self-align" pretty well.
I think you'll get somewhere if you try the fixes in those links. I kinda like the shim idea.
Hope that's it.

I just picked up a 10/22 magnum in a Hogue stock, you had to pry the magazine out of the stock to get it out. Wound up using a Dremel to relieve a little of the stock at a time until it would drop out when you hit the release. As Evil said, I had seen this discussed over on Rimfirecentral. I like the stock, but it was kind of a pain to have to do this to a new one.

I know he beats this old horse alot,, but Jack's right..
It's like saying a gas tank and a gas can are the same thing just because they both hold gas...
You don't go over to your neighbors house and ask to borrow his "Gas Tank"..LOL
It bugs me to hear it too, and I still correct friends and guys at the range when I hear it,, but I've given up trying to correct the whole www.. There's just to dang many of ya's..
Carry on..

You know, if you read back through the old Marlin .22LR advertising stuff from when I was young, they called all of their magazine-fed rifles (like the 989M2 I had) "clip-fed".
I think I picked it up from there, and un-learned it in the military.
Here's an example:
Marlin 989 ad - 1965
If you can't make out the text, it says:
"...The M1 has a tubular 10-shot magazine; the M2 comes with 2 7-shot clips."
Doh!
So, even though "clip" is not correct, you can see there's a reason some people might say it. A lot of old M-1 guys probably still call anything that contains a round of ammunition a clip, too. I'm pretty sure my dad does, in fact.
We now return to our regularly scheduled program "Trying to fix hamerhead's MR problem".

No argument here..
Heck,,, ya see it in just about all the gun rags these days too..
That don't make it right just because some self proclaimed expert put it down in writing..

I have a Magnum Research 22 mag. Love it no problems shot 100's of coons with it. Maybe the spring in your magazine or clip whatever you want to call it needs tightened up.

Huh. How about a 350 foot long nuclear submarine? What would the Captain refer to that as?
It's the Navy, remember. Thay have "tradition".

I think this was directed at me, I am sick of political correctness, if it floats its a boat, if it go's under its a sub, or a piece of junk and sunk. ed

Quote: Anyone who was in the Navy knows a submarine is a BOAT!
So, a 300 foot frigate is a "ship" and a 350 foot submarine is a "boat".
Okay, just wanted to make sure the Navy made sense.

Quote:350' Underwater BOAT.
Oh, so it depends on if it's above or below the surface, then? So, if you sink a destroyer, it then becomes a boat, eh?
I get it now, ya squid.
We just lumped them all together and called them "targets".
