Did Ruger ever manufacture the hi- capacity Mini-14 magazines in stainless steel?

    I have nerver heard of any factory stamped "Ruger" hi-caps in stainless. However, PMI manufactured Stainless mags under their own name, and PMI was the OEM supplier of blued Ruger factory Hi-caps back in the day.

    I have some old Mini-14 silver mags - but I think they are plated, not stainless. If I can find them, I'll let you know.

    hughe1,
    is right on.
    & I never had realized the similarity.
    But I compared a couple PMI Stainless to Factory Ruger and
    other than no Ruger stamping they are identical in configuration.

    Im with dano Ruger factory mags were all blue,I got lucky a couple yrs ago and bought several 20RD factory Mags.But Mason or PMI and now Pro Mag make reliable Mags for the Mini-14 and 30.


    Best!!

    dano, you mean that "in between" 10-round Mini-14 Ruger factory magazine I bought in the 1970s that is still new in its box has some special value? How much?
