I installed the extended magazine release on my Ruger 77/44 today

A while ago I got a 10 round magazine for my Ruger 44/77. It was hard to use due to both the pressure from the wood and because it was very hard to release.


I happened to have the day off, so I used a wood file and relieved a bit of the pressure on the side of the magazine. I also installed the extended magazine release. With these two changes, the extended magazine is a lot easier to use now.

I put a 77/22 Volquartsen extended release on mine shortly after I bought the rifle -- it makes things easier with flush-fit mags too.

Nice! The IQM mags are awesome, but need to be kinda fitted to the rifle. I have one to share duty between the 96/44 lever action and 99/44 Deerfield Carbine. It fits the 96/44 great but the Deerfield needs just a touch of relieving. I did not opt for the extended release. Though i have one on my 10/22s.

If i ever find a M77/44 for a good price ill snatch it up!
