Help finding "old style" 10/22 magazine release.

Randyzzz,
If you have a couple of flush 10/22 mag releases I would be VERY interested in purchasing them from you.
I have an abundance of Butler Creek Hotlips magazines that will not fit a extended release due to them having a thumbslide designed to depress the flush release. The extended lever will not allow them to be inserted into the magazine well.

Thanks!

Ruger has told you they don't sell them?

I'm out of town until tomorrow evening. Can you message me then to remind me? I'll check my bin and see what I have.

Well, I dug all through my stuff and can't find them anywhere. There's hammers, springs, barrels, sticks, stocks, boxes, but no releases. I did find 2 new Butler Creek extended releases- the polymer ones with the 1/2" tab. I don't know if you could sand one of them level and accomplish the same end result. I tried to find a pic online but it looks like they don't make them anymore, so here's a couple of crappy pics. View attachment 40649View attachment 40648

I need one of the non extended mag releases for a 10/22 (Ruger calls them magazine latch). I thought this would be about the easiest part in in the world to find, but no. Midway, Brownells, Numerich, ebay, Gunbroker etc not one single listing. Is the current 77/22 release the same part as the old 10/22 release? Can I just stick one of those in?
