Ram-Line Magazines
Have been discontinued and replaced with Shooter Ridge Magazines
Better product, and easier to clean.
The 50 shot Shooters Ridge magazine will work only in 10-22 with the metal trigger guard.. Design change from Ruger
changed the trigger guard specifications when Ruger changed to a Plactic triggerguard

Ram-Line 10-22 magazines.
We find that lead bullets, and standard velocity loads will not always feed properly.
Best ammo we have found that works is Federal Classic HV or CCI Mimi Mag Round Nose.
Cheap 22 LR in lead in Winchester and Blazer, are the worst offenders in jamming.

Epoxy paints work best. Get several colors of epoxy matte finish fast drying paint, chose colors that match terrain you might be using the firearm in.
Apply base coat of paint (light color best) to stock. then using a differnt color and using a leaf (or other object). hold leaf 1-2" inches above stock, lightly spray over leaf ,
causing a over spray pattern surrounding the leaf on to the stock. Alternate leaf or shapes around using different colors.
Presto! Camo pattern for the cost of paint, and less in less than one hour
