I've had single sixes since the 70's and have plenty of variations that I bought over the years but am fairly new to the 10/22 world. I bought one a couple years ago and my daughter bought one for one of my grandsons also. He and I go plinking and shoot a few squirrels each season. Like I said, I don't know much about their history and have been wanting to ask for awhile now but for lack of any other reason, embarrassed because of my lack of knowledge. How long has the 10/22 used the current magazine release style? Between the 2 of us we have lost a bag full of magazines walking around in the woods. We check to see if our mags are still there as often as we check to make sure the safety is on, ALL the time. I finally decided to ask this forum about it after we over- heard a couple old boys talking at a gun show about how many 10/22 magazines they have lost due to the release being so easy to accidentally operate.
If there was a previous style release that wasn't prone to accidental loss of the magazine, can it be retrofitted to newer 10/22's? Any history/information would be appreciated.
Thanks, C
