A sizing adapter to allow the Magload AR-22 31 round .22LR magazine to work at the optimal size for different AR-15 .22LR formats.
The adapter fits in between the two halves of the AR-22 magazine, which was designed for adapter use, and is clamped securely in place when the magazine is screwed together.
Available in three fitments:
- AR15-22
- Tippmann M4
- Kriss DMK
The Magload AR-22 magazine is in the native S&W 15-22 magazine sizing which is slightly shorter front to back than a regular AR mag (S&W wanted to avoid 5.56mm mags being accidentally inserted).
The adapters bring the Magload AR-22 dimensions at the top up to the correct size for larger magwells, while retaining the last round hold open operation for rifles that support this via the bolt release catch.
Tippmann M4 & Kriss DMK22C rifles have native .22 last round bolt hold open catches. AR15-22 conversions using CMMG or Ciener bolts need a Catch22 bolt catch or a Magload AR-22 bolt catch if not fitted with one.
For AR-15 .22 rifles already using with a Better Mag Adapter for 15-22 magazine use you do not need an adapter, as the Magload AR-22 is 15-22 sized anyway. Unless you are looking to move away from 15-22 sized mags and mix and match full size AR-15 .22 magazines e.g. those from CMMG and Black Dog.
