Why doesn't Ruger sell high cap Mini 14/30 magazines to civilians?

[Ghost]

You know, Ruger and Smith and Wesson are both publicly held and traded companies;on the NYSE, RGR and SWB respectively.

That being true, if you don't like the company policy, buy stock, pester other shareholders, and change the policy.

If we are going to start holding slights against manufacturers who commited the offense long ago, who are we going to buy from?

Winchester is dead (or, well, the name is owned by Olin), rumor has it that Colt is in serious trouble, HK doesn't really support civillian sales, FN appears to be wanting to court civillians but probably doesn't really care, Beretta could care less either way, General Dynamics is trying to branch out into small arms and they certainly won't care about civillian sales... the list just keeps on going.

So again, with publicly held companies there is something you can do if you so choose.

There is one that holds 50 rounds and is a rotary magazine. It can be left loaded as it doesn't have a compressed spring. I forget the brand name, there is only one.

While we're on the subject, does anybody make reliable high caps for the 10/22 that can be left loaded for a long time?

What is wrong with FIAT?

"Ruger electing to not sell me one of their products is analogous to Fiat or Citroen refusing to sell me one of their cars."

So at this point, even though I would love to pick up a 10/22, as well as one of their new scout style rifles, I will hold off, soley based on that company's position.

So buy a low-mileage used one. That doesn't contribute one thin dime to Ruger, but gets you the gun you want.

It boosts the resale price of new ones.

So I guess I should keep an eye on my two factory 20 rounders...

It is nothing like that. Fiat, or Citroen won't sell you a car, because they are in a different country. If they did indeed have dealerships here in the States, then them selling only to police officers, would be the accurate analogy. Ruger is an American company, that sells products in the U.S. But they will only sell you some products, because you are a common peasant, a serf, second class citizen, not worthy, etc.
