The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).
In last November for the first time in a long while did Ruger finally start selling mini-14 20 round magazines to the general public. Previously they had restricted them to law enforcement only. Now only 5 months later they are selling 30 rounders!
This is a great move by Ruger. At this rate we should be seeing a 100 round drum pretty soon
Bob Dylan got it right when he sung
Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin’
Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
They are selling for $49.95 at Ruger.com.

I'd be happy with 20 and 30-round magazines for the 6.8 Ranch Rifle as well.

But if it helps to be bitter at a letter sent 20 years ago by a man that has been dead for 7 years now... then by all means, make up your own assumptions as to who is in charge...

Mr. Fifer has been there a couple of years. Guess who is really pulling the strings?
On April 25, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing that on April 23, 2008, Stephen L. Sanetti resigned as a Director of the Company.
that was the same month as the LCP was released and since then they have released the LCR and the new 30 round mags... plus the SR-9 was released in what nov 07? perhaps his leaving had something to do with his not liking the way the company was heading...
