I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Ruger to make them available.  Back in the day a company called PMI made nickel plated mags for the Ruger Mini 14 that actually worked VERY well.  I had several of their 30 round mags and never had a single issue.  I just googled it and PMI made 20 round ones as well.  Although the company went out of business years ago, their mags are still floating around for sale on the internet FWIW.

I'd just buy the regular factory mag and not worry about it.  Back in the day, Ruger never made any silver colored mags and you could have any color you want as long as it was black oxide.  As mentioned all the mags on the A-Team were Precision Mags.  Not sure if those new ones are nickel or hard chromed plated.  If you must have silver mags, I would send the mag body and floor plate off to Mahovsky's Metalife and have them plated with Metalife Hard Chrome Plating.

Back in the day you can only have 5 or 10 rounders black as Bill refused to sell civilian the 20/30 rounders.

Consider ourself lucky, Bill no more and door is wide open now. Just buy OEM 20 or 30 rounders and paint/coat/plate any color you want. Easy solution.

Look on youtube, there are tons of videos on how to nickel plate steel.
It is actually extremely easy and costs less than $50 in parts and materials.

No, Ruger used to sell 20 round mags to civilians prior to the AWB, which was supported by the late Bill Ruger.  Ruger is now publicly owned and is not beholden to its founder's stupidity.
I sell firearms produced by the finest child labor in the world, be it Filipino, Muslim, Mormon, Arizonan, or Texan.

They used to come in that little white box that was suitable for mailing.

I had a few factory LEO mags that I painted with Rustoleum Stainless paint, they looked very comparable to the factory stainless on my late GB.

It gave me the look I wanted for a few mags, just to try.  Cheap, not permanent and works.
