Magnum Research .22 WMR questions

[socalbeachbum]

I'm interested in the .22 WMR Magnum Research semi-auto. I've got questions.

The overmolded Hogue stock they use, is it the same as used on the Ruger 10/22?

If so, can any Ruger 10/22 stock be used with it?

Do Ruger 10/22 trigger groups work with it properly?

It's based on the Ruger 10/22 Magnum, the action is slightly longer than a standard 10/22. So I don't think they will interchange. Have you called them? I'm sure they would be able to tell you.

Also pay attention to the light ammo warning. There is a pressure relief system

I'll try to look up this light ammo warning because I do not understand this.

I wanted one but you must not use any of the 30gr loads. (I would also be careful of any of the hot 40gr stuff???) From what I understand you will void the warranty, not sure about what the risk is....) Anyway as wmr is hit or miss around here at times, I didn't want to have to be selective. I went from considering MR to volquartsen and then finally brno 611. I got 2 now and very happy.
