Take it apart one more time, look inside the metal magazine throat. There is a little ridge caused by the mold when this piece is cast, it will catch on some rounds and cause them to get stuck in the throat. Just a little file and polishing/steel wool will reduce that ridge and you will never have a problem. Not lubrication, not the follower rattling around. If the rounds get caught in the metal throat, that’s your issue.
Thanks for sharing this fix. I have the very same problem with my BX25x2. I stopped using it because it FTF on the second mag. I will definitely try this out.
I've had the same issue with the bx25 .I took mags apart cleaned with toothbrush and dishsoap. Dried and sprayed with wd40 .works flawless now.the bx line does not like a dirty load. Copper tip ammo no issues.
Great video and I had the same problem. Bullet would not feed due to the bullet not being up high enough in the clip to feed. Took the magazine apart and cleaned it up and now it feeds every time when loading every new first round.
I have 3 single BX25s and 1 Dbl all with this problem. Took them all apart one at a time. 2 drops just didn't do the trick for me.I ended liberally lube/oil just like he said. Tested them each in the house an now they seem to function properly. Next weekend will be the true test at the outside range. Keeping my fingers crossed.. Thanks for the "tip" on fixing this problem.
Thanks after 6 years really thanks appreciated , the gun smith will charge almost what I paid for the rifle , will apply what I learned here thanks again 💯✌🏻👍🙏🏻
Thanks for the video. I just purchased a 10/22 takedown and I purchased 3 mags with it. And all three of them are doing the exact same thing where the bullets aren't being pushed all the way up. Very frustrating. So I will take them apart and see if that fixes the issue. Thank you
"Gotta use 3 hands" lol Nice 10/22 though! I just have the basic wooden stock 1103 model and just put the BX Trigger in it and a new BX-25 MAG for it.. Havent had the chance to shoot it yet but I already love the feel of the 3lb pull!
I appreciate the info. I just bought the BX-25. Killed a couple groundhogs with only four rounds in the mag at a time just in case and it worked fine. Took it out yesterday to burn through 50 and it started acting up. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
2nd Amendment Molon Labe After you do the oil you can try filling it and then manually cycling the action till the mag is empty. You may have to do this 2 or 3 times but it should work after that.
For me it wasn't the bag, but movement in the plunger which holds the rear of the mag. Mine was not snuggly being held in place. When I took the stock off and put the mag in, I could wiggle it and see that the movement was in the plunger. I decided to get the Kidd "improved" plunger and their extra-power spring which fixed the problem.
@@Foxxy11256 I bought a KIDD plunger and spring also. Fixed it. The factory spring is fine with the BX10 magazines. I think it's just too weak for the extra weight of the larger magazines. Also if you hold a BX10 and a BX25 next to each other. The BX10 is bigger and fits tighter.
I have had similar issues and was able to cure it with some graphite powder. I think just about any lube will help with this issue and graphite probably won't attract grime like oil will.
I like in that spring hole add an empty case trimmed down level( or a short case) as a bushing to tighten follower to fix ,theres a video on u tube. I dont want oil inside my mag 22 ammo is very dirty, that oil will attract debris.
Everyone tells me the ruger 10-22 is the best 22 you can buy. But the internet has dozens of fixes for the trigger group, magazines etc. There are more videos than you can count on how to fix feed and stovepipe problems. Does ANYONE have a good ruger .22?
@@larryw.c.4544 I have only had issues with a certain Brand of ammo cycling through and not using Ruger made mags. I love my 10/22. My mother in-law has one which is at least 30+ yrs old. Never has had an issue except the 1 in a 1,000 bad round. That gun has only been cleaned 2 times and I was the that cleaned it.
@@larryw.c.4544 They are junk. They must all be paid sponsors or something. i bought a takedown based on all the You Tube love and have regretted it since day one. Absolute junk product out of the box that has to be fixed, modded, and upgraded to be close to comparable to others out of the box as they come. I've done every mod to get it to where it should have been new. Spent a ton of money and time on it. Should have bought a Marlin or anything else. I don't get all the fan boys either.
I purchased a brand new Ruger 10/22 and a new "RUGER" BX-25 mag expecting quality, reliability and durability. I got it with the gun, but not with the BX-25 magazine. I would reckon that Ruger knows they have a problem with the BX-25, but they have done nothing about it. Some new lawyer will get a hold on this if they do not fix it soon. Ruger, really. Come on now. Fix it.
I have heard that you have to break them in, 75 to 100 rounds, the springs are tight. I want to purchase some, but not I am frightened. Are there any alternatives for a 10/22? I dont ned a 1k round magazine, but 25 to 30 sounds perfect.
Mine causes FTF then I get FTE and sometimes it causes the bolt to hold open... I wiggle the mag and then the bolt goes home. I do not touch the mag while shooting it unless the bolt decides to hold open. My 10 round mags run flawlessly in my rifle.
Good tips. Also don’t leave these magazines loaded in storage. It seems to be hard on the springs if their kept loaded in storage for an extended period.
Seems alignment is usually the issue, not saying your problem wasn’t legit, but oiling the cold spring will collect dust, dirt, GPR and could possibly start sticking in cool to cold weather. You may want to dust lightly with a dry lock powder. Good find anyway.
I have this same BX25 x2 - Biggest POS I have ever seen. Poor fit in all of my 10/22's which create feeding issues. I also have one side that the rounds will get caught and not advance. Whoever approved this design from Ruger should be fired. I find TandomCross mags actually work the best.
I've had my magazines loaded with CCI mini mags (hollow points) and they will eventually nose dive after like 4 months or so. I also have loaded some CCI stingers for the same amount of time and they sit perfect..I love mini mags, too bad they dont run flawless in my mags long term wise
That is a generic green and red holographic sight from ebay. They are NOT bright enough to be seen in the bright sun. I would get a Vortex viper instead
@bob builder mine don’t jam either, it’s just heavy with 25 extra rounds and an extra mag, I have a 3 pound 10oz 10/22 and I plan on leaving it as light as possible
Find older used 10-22, and mags. I have A walmart special from the 80s. It and mags work flawlessly. Older marlin mod. 60s are fabulous also. I have both. One plus for the marlin is it is super light. Latest and newest isn't always the best.
They're junk. I bought one brand new and the piece of shit don't feed. Fuck ruger. They think I should pay shipping charges to send in a piece of shit magazine that they made. Ruger can eat a bag of shit. I'll stick to my Marlin 60. It's more accurate anyway. Fuck Ruger.
It's really never a good idea to put lubricant in a magazine. Don't doubt what you're saying but it's a band-aid and lubricant in a magazine will eventually cause other problems. Better to just have Ruger replace the whole thing.
These are not isolated cases of a lemon sadly Ruger let this slip and the BX25s are completely unreliable. Some company is making a bushing for it now but a lot of people have been modifying spent .22 cases. Bottom line it shouldn't have been continued production of poor quality magazines.
It's a Ruger poor design issue. That is the problem. They are ok with making and selling junk apparently . Everyone including me has this issue with the 10/22 and Ruger's own 25 round mags . It isn't the ammo or any one rifle if every 10/22 they sell does this. What a shame a company sells such inferior products. Hell the rifle itself is like buying a half working car then having to add and change a bunch of parts to make it useable and reliable. I regret buying a takedown. I have done almost every mod to it to just get it to the same standards as other brands out of the box. Now I have to fix brand new mags to get them to work. Total junk company. They replaced High Point and the old Taurus in low quality and design imho. Once you throw a ton of money, time and repair into a brand new 10/22 they are a blast. Too bad Ruger has lost their ethics and way selling broken stuff. I really wanna love them like everyone else does but how can you like a company that puts this crap out? I'll try what you said on my mags but it seems the casing mod is the most reliable fix.
a 3D printed follower with wheels would probably help Ruger's poor design... instead of sammichin' 2 mags together Ruger could have designed a single magazine with a single wall between both compartments... like duh.
Ruger is not the company it use to be. Compare a BX-10 and the BX-25 and you’ll find the 25 is shorter. that’s why the mag is loose. I expected more from Ruger. Ruger is buying bankrupt companies now. QC is down the drain.

If I ever have the same issue I will try a couple drops of 3 in 1 oil first, and then if need be stretch the coil spring.
Thanks for the video!
Stretching the coil spring inside the BX-25 will make it much less effective.

Where did you get your charging handle
We should not have to do this with Ruger products. My BX-25 mag sucks. I am pissed with Ruger.

When I took the stock off and put the mag in, I could wiggle it and see that the movement was in the plunger.

Ruger doesn't care about quality or their customers problems.

Yes, graphite would be better than oil. I have done this on other platforms and then blown out all I could with compressed air.
Is it still the same POS just two times more jams

It doesn't help in my case
I had this problem too. this fix didn't work for me. made a video and uploaded to my page of my own fix
GOOD POINT CHEERS
Sounds like you need to use the spent casing mod inside of your mag. Check it out. Gary's Outdoors I think is the video on it...

10/22 is better than the mossberg. A good alternative to the magazine is to get (3) 10 rounders and get the coupler that hold all three in a circle.
Mine causes FTF then I get FTE and sometimes it causes the bolt to hold open... I wiggle the mag and then the bolt goes home. I do not touch the mag while shooting it unless the bolt decides to hold open. My 10 round mags run flawlessly in my rifle.
As my 15-round mag. My (3) 25 rounders - not so much. Meh. I can still age war on squirrels & rabbits with my 10 & 15 rounder...
Good tips. Also don’t leave these magazines loaded in storage. It seems to be hard on the springs if their kept loaded in storage for an extended period.
Just pulled mine out after having them loaded for over 8 months. Not a problem
That's not how springs work.

3:14 there’s your problem there’s a Pube in there. Blocking it from loading.
😂
10 round magazine,no question thee best for the 10/22
I had same issue. I tried the 22 short,spent, cartridge for a shim on the internal roller. NO MORE ISSUES!! ....just saying...
Guys what is the other option with magazines for this 10/22 ?
GSG 110 round drum (works well as long as you get an exact edge extractor), Ruger BX-25, BX-15

I cant load the rounds in the mag except for one only.Can somebody help.
You need a loader for the larger magazine.I use Champion Shooting Gear magazine loader.
I have this and other BX-25 all junk can’t get any to work on my 10/22
Is it ok to keep the magazine loaded for long term storage?
no, unfortunately.
Ruger doesn't recommend it but it's for safety not because of the spring wearing out.
I've had my magazines loaded with CCI mini mags (hollow points) and they will eventually nose dive after like 4 months or so. I also have loaded some CCI stingers for the same amount of time and they sit perfect..I love mini mags, too bad they dont run flawless in my mags long term wise

Oil attracts and holds dust. I'd use silicone spray -- lots of it -- and let it dry.
