Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Sir, I see this project is quite far along but have you thought/tried newer Remington mags, I think the 596 or 504 used a nice cast metal 6 round magazine. I hope your conversion works out. Rich56

The older mags were steel.... All of the new production are plastic..

I was referring to the CZ452. The 5 rounder that came with mine was plastic.

AICS adapter taking Ruger .22 handgun mags would be great.
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

That is one heck of a nice project! If you can convert the standard 40X single shot into a repeater, there will be a lot of demand for them!

Best of Luck!
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Do you think there is enough room to make a repeater in 17HMR/5mm Rem Mag/22 Win Mag?
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

picked up a 40 x recently and am ready for this mod when you are
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Right, you are.

Someone said they bought a 40x with the hopes of a mag conversion in the future. I bought a 40x with no such hopes, but this sure sounds good.

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Right now my 40X is a single shot, but with any luck CDi will be able to fix that.
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Is this feeding reliably?

Any need for a ramp?

I just picked up a 40x myself...
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

I would love to have one for my 40X HB. I'm in.

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Working on what magazines to use. I dont really like the savage mags(seem very cheap and chintzy).

Does anyone have input on good 22 LR rifle mags?.. I have heard the Anchutz ones are good but not sure what ones or availability/price.
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: PadronAniversary</div><div class="ubbcode-body">how about ruger 10/22 mags ? They are reliable, easily serviceable, and inexpensive. </div></div>

This is what I also meant by steel lips. 10/22
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Savage and Annie mags are the same. The only difference is a notch in the back of an Annie mag for the mag catch.

I have made a bunch of Savage mags for my 1827s.

Let me see if I can take some pics and email them to you.
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Old Savage mags that us Anschutz guys modify a touch to work in 54/64's may be better than the MKII mags.

Brownells:

Savage 5-Round fits 35/34/65/85/416/982 $12.95
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

It'd be great it there was a magazine that you could use that comes in 5 round that would be flush with a stock, or 10+ rounds if you didn't care about it sticking out.

Also, heres some food for thought. An original repeater.

10/22 mags are great,but the 40X is a more classical looking rifle,I think a thinner mag like Anshutz would look better.
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Check out the mags that Cooper uses. I think they are modified Annie's, but not positive.

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

I am confused now. Cid is making a conversion using an AICS housing and the feeding/spring parts from another .22lr mag correct? For those that are using AICS and other stocks that utilize the AICs mags right?
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

I'm new to the Hide, but have followed this thread with interest. I'm building a .22 clone (trainer) to pair with my Remington .308 5R. This bottom metal repeater set for a 40x would be great. Put me on the "I want one too" list. As an aside, I would vote for the 513T mags....they are dependable, inexpensive, and still being made aftermarket on the original Remington tooling.
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

I'm in for one when available, I tried to call number on web page and said was disconnected ????elton

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

I think there is going to be much more cost involved then many of us were expecting ($800-1000). A fellow hide member actually turned his 40x into a repeater and said it was very tedious and involved. After reading the post I was a little disheartened. I justs did not realize how hard this was going to be.

I dont want to speak for CDI, and could be way off. here was the thread:

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

Had me 1 about 6 years ago sold it for $2500 in the box as new and i got $125 for each spair mags made a killin!.not bad for back in the old days!john
 
Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal

I like the 40X's but why not just go with a 52 Win, if a repeater is a must? The rifle would be cheaper than the conversion.
