Anschutz 5 Round Or 10 Round .22Lr Spare Magazine?

[David Aiken 253]

Hi all, when I collect (when the FAC turns up!) my Anschutz 1417, it come`s with a 10 round magazine. I would like a spare, but which one? A pair of 5 rounds or another 10 round .22lr magazine?

That will be down to you.

 

Some like 10, others 5.

 

If you use a rifle sling try your 10 for a while, depending on the adjustment you have on the sling, throwing the rifle over your shoulder can sometimes result in a thump in your back with a 10 shot magazine.

 

Even if you prefer the 5, a 10 shot mag is a good way to carry 10 spare rounds without them getting dirty or rattling about, just feed them into the 5 round mag as required!

Just been out zeroing my 1417 and the 10 shot magazine got in the way leaning on a bag.

They also tend to stick in your back when carrying on the sling.

Depending on what subs you use, you might experience the occasional round sticking in the 10 shot mag. I generally use Eleys in my 1417 and they can be a little waxy on the head. Like I said, sometimes one decides to stick on the way up. Its hard to tell, especially when you are out at night, and a dry fire isn't what you want with quarry in the crosshairs. Winnies are less waxy and give no such problems.

 

I tend to load up my 5 shot mag for use, and keep my 10 shot in my pocket for a quick swap if necessary.

I have 4, 10 shot magazines for a 1417 sat on the side I now have no use for them since I changed to the browning I would happily post them out to anyone willing to make a donation to help for Heros or similar charity

[moxy 617]

Cracking offer that Dan. Nice one

That's a very generous offer and lets hope the person or persons who take you up on your offer bear in mind these magazines retail at about £55 a pop when they are donating

[David Aiken 253]

I would take the offer but feel a couple of 5 shot magazines will be a better bet. Do they (the 5 shot) suffer with the occasional sticking of the 10 round magazines? I've heard the 10 round magazines are better loaded with 9 rather than 10 rounds?? Anyone tried this?

I can't quote specifically on the Anschutz, but that is commonly the case with magazines, easy enough to try!

Come on lads get your hands in your pockets

The mags where used daily for neigh on 8 years at work hold 10 not 9 don't occasionally stick and the thinking men among you realise that 5 ten shot mags mean one full box of ammo loaded so no faffing about with half full boxes of ammo.

 

£10 each or £30 the lot !!!!! To h4h or julias house children's hospice saves them from the bin

 

P.s if some kind gent or gents do take these I will match any donation that goes to julias house

May I suggest you put these in the For Sale section, I'm sure you can easily achieve £10 or more per magazine, and then simply donate it to charity should you so desire.

I would have them off you mate, but I'm a 5 shot magazine man. As I said, my 10 shot magazine is only there for backup.

 

Cracking offer though.

Yep, I tested this a while ago. I personally found that filling the 10 shot magazine to capacity increased the possibility for a snag/stick. From then on I started to load 9. I must emphasise though that I was (and still) use Eleys. I have been tempted on numerous occasions to move to Winnies, but out of my rifle I find that the Eleys are just too accurate and consistent (for subs anyway).

[David Aiken 253]

I`ll take them for £30 to H4H! If you still have them message me.
