Ruger Standard .22 1969 Magazine needed

[jcramin]

Well my son got a 1969 Ruger .22 Standard from 1969 from his grandfather. The magazine is really worn and the follower wiggles and makes the gun jam a LOT since the bullets dont alway go in at the proper angel.

SO I need to know where I can get a couple new mags.

Problem is I have looked everywhere. The Ruger MARK magazines are not the right ones not even the MARK I.

The button on the you pull down to pull the spring down to be able to insert the bullet is on the opposite side one the standard compared to all the other Ruger magazines.

Is this going to be a gun show find only ?

Thanks,
J

Here is an interesting article on the magazine for those pistols: http://www.histandard.info/datapublic/Articles/DFmagazine.pdf . It seems they were first made by modifying High Standard magazines. Maybe one of the after market or current High Standard magazines could be made to work or used to repair your current magazine.

Well got it figured out someone on another board told me the MARL I mags are made to move the pin to the other side to be used in the Standard and it worked.

My son is happy now.
