M-Tek20 20 round extended double stack 22lr magazine for the Tikka T1x rifle.
Tikkas are excellent rifles. Like most rimfire rifles they come with a single stack magazine. However, the magazine well is wide enough for a double stack magazine.
After going through more than 50 iterations I was able to design a double stacked rimfire 22lr magazine that is well suited for 3D printing and feeds reliably.
The magazine is about the same length as a Glock 19 magazine despite having a capacity of 20 rounds of 22lr affording you lots of fun per mag!
The magazine has a viewing holes on the side in five round increments so you can quickly see how many you have loaded.
Durability
These being 3D printed might raise some concerns over durability with some. And while we cannot claim that they are tougher than the original injection molded fiber reinforced polymer Tikka factory magazines we have also had no durability issues in all of our testing and use of these magazines.
We have cycled over a 1000 rounds through a magazine and seen no wear on the feed lips. The low friction nature and high wear resistance of PETG plastic that these are made out of helps with that.
We have dropped these on all sorts of surfaces including concrete and haven’t had a single one break but we cannot guarantee that they survive being dropped on concrete or other hard surfaces, so please don’t do that!
PETG is generally plenty heat resistant for day to day use but the car dashboard during a sweltering hot Arizona day might be too much so please keep them in your range bag if you leave them in the car.
If all else fails there is a two year warranty for any breakages occurring from normal usage of the magazines.
Maintenance (every 500 rounds or when necessary)
- Disassemble the magazine and wipe dirt off with a cloth or a paper towel.
- In our experience normal bearing grease, ie. lithium grease works best. Silicones, oils, and even some PTFE dry lubricants tend to gum up the magazine.
- Apply a light coat of grease on the front and rear surfaces of the follower.
