I know it’s a long shot but down anyone have a line on a 20 round mini 14 straight magazine?

The only ones I knew of were "OE" mags from CDNN, and they haven't been in stock for a couple of years.

CDNN sold out of them a couple times several years ago. IIRC they last had them in stock was in 2016.

That’s what I was afraid of. Been looking and haven’t found any. 😔

I posted in another forum that CDNN had them in stock April, 2019 for $14.99. As far as I know, that was the last time I ever saw them for sale. I have 5 of them I got in November, 2018 as well as 5 of Ruger's curved 20 rd mags. I also have a Springfield M1A and the OE brand are better made than Ruger's current offering made by a subcontractor as Ruger doesn't make their mags, they farm them out.

I sent pictures and a review to Ruger that April suggesting that they evaluate OE's mags for a possible switch in subcontractor and design. Mr. Eric Schellhorn, Director of Sportswear & Accessories, Ruger  Firearms contacted me on 4/30/2018 to discuss my evaluation of the OE brand mags for the Mini I sent to Ruger via the 'Tell the CEO' link.

He explained that they don't make mags, they contract for them and that they have been happy with their selection. When I pointed out that OE's design was more like the M14/M1A's and that my testing of 200 rds out of each style confirmed that the OE were every bit as reliable as the Ruger selection he remained unimpressed.

When I explained that I had a single failure to feed during my testing of both brands and the failure was in a Ruger brand mag, not the OE. That the OE had better forming and spot welding and were being sold at 1/2 the price, he stated that they were happy with the current design and had no plans to evaluate the OE brand.
