The ten-shot, five-shot, and three-shot magazines for the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle is constructed of durable glass-filled nylon with a stainless steel spring. A snap-on dust cover is included which helps keep the magazine internals clean and allows long-term storage of the magazine while loaded. Not recommended for use with other M24/M40/AICS-style systems.

Ruger Offers Polymer Magazines for Scout Rifle

November 15, 2011

(GunReports.com) -- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is now making polymer magazines for the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle. They're made from glass-filled nylon in ten-round, five-round, and three-round capacities.

All components are molded from glass-filled nylon (except the stainless steel spring), and the assembled magazines have been function and drop tested at extreme temperatures ranging from -30° F to +140° F.

"Consumers have made many requests for lower cost Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle magazines," said Mark Gurney, Ruger's Long Gun Product Manager. "These new Ruger magazines are durable, easy to load, feed smoothly, and are less than half the price of original equipment steel magazines. The three-round magazine is near flush-fitting and is a great accessory to have when hunting with the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle," he concluded.

Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle polymer magazines can be readily disassembled and assembled for cleaning. A snap-on dust cover, which not only keeps the internals of the magazine clean, but also allows long-term storage of a loaded magazine without risk of deforming the magazine feed lips, is included with each magazine.

The original steel five-round and ten-round steel magazines are also available, and Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifles are still being supplied with one all-steel ten-round magazine.
