I was looking to pick up some factory Ruger 30 round mags for my mini 14 tactictal that I just ordered. I got some 20's for my mini 14 target that work flawlessly are the 30's just as good? Found some for $36-$38 plus shipping, that sound bout right? $50 at lgs.

Seems like their shipping was less also but it has been awhile. I have heard that the 20 round mags were more reliable but I haven't had any problems with the 20 or 30 rounders. It's also nice to have a 5 round mag if you shoot off of a sandbag. Those long mags get in the way.

Found some for 10 bucks. Every once in a while this place has some good sales. I bought a bunch of mags for my p95. Mini-14 .223 30rd Blue Mag New Replacement | |

Midway has them for 37.99 Ruger Mini14 30 Round Mag
CheaperThanDirt only has Ruger Mini14 20 Round Mag 34.97
Bud's Gun Shop doesn't have Ruger Mini14 30 Round Mag (where I got my mini30 and 3 extra 20 round mags)
It was suggested on another forum that I only get 20 round mags for the 7.62x39Russian because the accentuated curve could ('could') experience some feeding problems. So I will get a few extra 20 round mags to compensate.

The 20s are supposed to be more reliable than the 30s, and of course, not as bulky. CDNN has them for $28.99, + $9.95 shipping total no matter how many items you order. I have always avoided non factory mags and never had a mag problem.
If you get a 30, let us know how it runs.

Back in the 80s i had several ruger factory mini14 mags with 30 round capacity and they worked flawlessly. Since 1990 NJ has had a 15 round mag limit so i cannot legally own 20 or 30 round mags.

I have gotten several hints lately that Magpul may be working on mags for the 14/30. If so, we may find a good source outside of Ruger factory mags at a great price. Until then, I would stick with factory mags from a reputable source that you can trust to be sure they are not cheap clones like can be had on ebay.
