Ruger BX-15 for Volquartsen Summit

Post by thunderbird » 04 Nov 2022, 10:24 am

Hey guys, wondering if anyone know if the Ruger BX-15 magazine will fit Volquartsen Summit rifle? In theory Volquartsen Summit is based on Ruger 10/22 platform, so it should fit, but just want to be conformed. thanks!

Can't comment on whether it fits the rifle, but you can only get them restricted to 10rds now, unless you can find a secondhand original that came with the early RPR. We can't import the BX15's anymore, even though they're legal in all states. Much better mag than the 10rd rotaries though.

Not completely sure either, but I’m led to believe so. Maybe also look at Victor Precision, they fit the Ruger rimfires and go out to 25 rounds I think.

15rd or 10rd ones? I'd love to get a few more 15rd BX-15's if they'd allow me to import some, they're an awesome mag but I only have three, plus a 10rd BX-25.

The ProMag Archangel is a good option, 25rd restricted to 15rd so a bit longer than preferred. Can be annoying shooting from a bench due to the length. And the springs are standard 25rd springs so get pretty heavy loading the last few rounds. These don't fit into my MDT LSS chassis though so you'd want to confirm they fit yours first. I bought four from Cleaver for $50 apiece so they're great value. They came with sleeves to make them look like AR15 mags but I removed those. I have had a couple of stoppages with these mags, but over many thousands of rounds the failure rate is miniscule and the mags disassemble very easily, slide the floor plate off and everything drops out the bottom. I don't believe I've ever had any issues with the BX15's. I have had feed issues with the BX-10's, not a fan of them at all.
