Description
If you run a left-hand 10/22, you know that standard magazines won't work for you. These left-hand units are engineered specifically for left-hand feed and ejection on the Ruger 10/22 and won't function in standard right-hand rifles. The design mirrors the rotary system you depend on, but with the feed lips and rotor orientation flipped to match your rifle's action.
Identifying Your Left-Hand Magazines
These come with distinctive green followers and are marked with embossed "10SHOTLH" on the end cap. That makes them easy to spot in your gear bag and eliminates any mix-ups with standard red-follower mags. The identification system is straightforward so you can't accidentally load the wrong magazine into your rifle.
Built to Last
The rotary design keeps individual rounds in their own slots, which eliminates rim overlap and binding issues that can plague other magazine styles. The polymer body with steel feed components is proven reliable, and the rotary spring system maintains consistent tension through the full magazine cycle. You get smooth feeding whether you're working with match ammunition at the bench or running hot ammo at the range.
Three-Pack Value
Having multiple loaded mags ready to go means more time shooting and less time feeding rounds one at a time. The three-pack format lets you rotate between reloading while you're still shooting, which is especially useful during range sessions or small game outings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these left-hand magazines in my standard right-hand 10/22?
No. Left-hand magazines are not interchangeable with standard right-hand 10/22 magazines. The rotor orientation and feed lip design are reversed for left-hand ejection, so they will not function in right-hand rifles. You'll need to use the magazines that match your specific rifle's configuration.
How do I know if I have left-hand magazines?
The easiest way to identify these is by looking for the green follower inside the magazine. Standard right-hand magazines use red followers. You'll also see the embossed "10SHOTLH" marking on the end cap to confirm they're left-hand units.
Are there larger capacity options for left-hand 10/22s?
Currently, the rotary left-hand magazine design is limited to the 10-round capacity. Extended capacity magazines like the BX-15 and BX-25 use a different linear spring system rather than rotary, so they have not been adapted for left-hand use. If higher capacity is important to you, you'll need to pair multiple 10-round magazines using coupler devices.
What makes the rotary design better than other magazine types?
The rotary design keeps each round in its own chamber, preventing rim overlap and binding that can occur with linear-feed magazines. This means more reliable feeding with a wider variety of ammunition types, and the rotor spring maintains consistent tension throughout the shooting cycle. It's proven itself as the most reliable 10/22 magazine design across decades of use.
