but no such luck.
After noticing that the Ruger NRA Mini-14's are being sold with two 20-round magazines, here's a comment I sent to Ruger Customer Service in hopes that they might have changed their mind about only selling 5-round magazines with the standard models and as accessories:
This was the response I got:
I don't know if it would do any good if a lot of people bugged them about this, but they sound pretty hard-headed about their policy.
Pretty sad.

Now that Ruger has begun selling some firearms such as the SR9 and NRA Mini-14 with normal capacity magazines, is there any hope that we Mini-14 owners will ever be able to purchase factory 20-round magazines without the law enforcement stamp? The assault weapons ban has been history for some time, so how about making a lot of Mini-14 owners happy? A 5-round magazine in a semi-auto rifle used for target shooting or plinking is really annoying.
This was the response I got:
The Ruger Mini-14 rifle has been sold commercially since 1986 and was designed to be used in the hunting fields of America, where a few quick shots are sometimes vital. Well over 95% have left the factory with 5 round magazines in recognition of their intended use. We understand your desire for a greater capacity magazine, but at this point in time we have no plans to change our long-standing policy.
