Table of Contents
Hey all, we here at True Shot Academy wanted to shine the spotlight on a new product that we started carrying. We recently started carrying the
BX-25 magazine from
Ruger, and want to provide an informative blog post about our new offering. Our goal here today is to provide you with an overview of the magazine while delving into some of its features and traits. Without further ado, let’s examine the
Ruger BX-25 magazine.
Who is Ruger?
Ruger is a well-known name in the firearms industry that has been around since 1949. The company offers a wide variety of firearms that are popular with shooters of all types.
Ruger primarily offers centerfire and rimfire handguns and rifles. Notable centerfire offerings from
Ruger include their Mini-14, Mini-30, American Rifle, AR-556, Ruger Precision Rifle, and their Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle.
Ruger’s notable rimfire offerings include their Mark IV line of pistols, Wrangler revolver, 10/22 series of rifles, and rimfire variations of their Ruger Precision Rifle and American rifles.

The Ruger BX-25 Magazine
The
Ruger BX-25 magazine represents a 25 round
.22 Long Rifle magazine from
Ruger. The upper body of the
magazine shares the same footprint as
Ruger’s 10 round BX-1
magazine and features a curved lower body. To achieve the higher capacity of 25 rounds, the classical rotary design seen in the BX-1 was not used. In the case of the
BX-25, the
magazine utilizes a more traditional spring and follower system housed within the extended bottom of the
magazine. Naturally, his elongated portion of the
magazine houses
ammunition.
The slightly dramatic curvature of the
magazine body is done to promote reliable feeding of
.22 Long Rifle ammunition. As the
.22 Long Rifle cartridge has a rim, a curved
magazine is necessary in this case to ensure rounds will not get hung up on each other in the
magazine. Rimmed cartridges can get caught on each other during feeding, leading to failures to feed and other hinderances to function.
We here at True Shot Ammo offer the
BX-25 in the form of a singular
magazine and in
packs of two. The
individual magazine offerings and
pack of two magazines that we carry are of the solid, black colored variety.
Ruger also produces clear-sided
BX-25 magazines which grant shooters an inside look at the
magazines and how they work. Additionally, the clear-sided variant of the
BX-25 magazine also clearly the
ammunition it carries, allowing users to gauge their remaining
ammunition capacity.
What Firearms are Compatible with This Magazine?
Ruger firearms chambered in
.22 Long Rifle such as the 10/22 series of rifles and pistols, American rimfire, Precision Rimfire, and 77/22 are compatible with the
BX-25 magazine. Additionally, firearms produced by companies besides
Ruger which utilize 10/22 style magazines will also be compatible with the
BX-25 magazine. Simply put, if you have a firearm chambered in
.22 Long Rifle that accommodates 10/22
magazines, you will be able to utilize
Ruger’s BX-25 magazine.
Factory Extended Magazine Offering
The
BX-25 represents a factory extended
magazine offering from
Ruger. This means, that users of compatible
Ruger firearms do not have to utilize off-brand imitations or aftermarket solutions. Generally speaking, using accessories and equipment produced by the same company as a firearm is a recipe for success. By utilizing equipment and firearms produced by the same company, you are using products specifically designed to work with each other. This is not to say that aftermarket
magazines are bad by any means. Some shooters simply enjoy the piece of mind that comes from utilizing OEM
magazine solutions with their firearms. At the end of the day, you cannot go wrong with a
BX-25 magazine from
Ruger.
Not Legal in All 50 States
It should be known some states and local restrictions may outlaw the possession of
magazines over a certain capacity. For example, California restricts the ownership of
magazines with capacities exceeding 10 rounds. Since the
BX-25 magazine from
Ruger will hold 25 rounds of
ammunition, it is illegal in some states and jurisdictions. Be sure to check your state and local laws before purchasing
magazines to ensure that they are legal to possess. By doing so, you can ensure that you don’t run afoul of the law.
