Testing the 30 round extended magazine for the Remington 597 22 rifle. I also test out my SilencerCo Octane 9 silencer on the Remington for the first time. If you enjoyed this video please give me a like and be sure to subscribe for future channel updates as I plan to put up a new video every week or two. I’m B.C. and welcome to my channel Deuce and Guns!
I've got three of those magazines, and I've never successfully fired three shots in succession from any of them. I've four of the ten round magazines and they work perfectly. I thoroughly enjoy my 597, but the best extended magazines are a rip off.
I found out that there was a lot of molten plastic residue getting rounds stuck while they travel up the magazine, so I grabbed some sandpaper strings and made the inner front wall smoother, which lowered my ftf's to zero. No extractor nor trigger problems in mine.
Oh and the mag feeding lips had another bunch of residue making them asymmetrical and shapes that were meant to be square, weren't. 5 minutes later with an exacto knife, it worked like a charm.
I had the same problem with the magazine not fitting right. When the thirty round magazine was measured against one of my ten round magazine, it was big over all, where it inserts into the rifle by fifteen thousand. Some sanding, and polishing with eight hundred grit paper help tremendously. These guns are picky about the ammo. You need one that will operate the bolt.
Using federal box ammo and CCI ammo I have had zero malfunctions with my 3 30 round magazines over thousands and thousands of rounds. I do take the magazines apart and clean them occasionally and I also put a very small bit of lubricant on it
The first round fed from the mag ever was on this video and it was straight out of the packaging. I plan on making a part 2 eventually showing a good cleaning and once over to see if I can get it to function. Thanks for the info.
replace the extractor with a volquartsen extractor. cost $20. ive done it. no more feeding issues.
agree VQ extractor fixed mine
thats not the issue the issue is the magazine springs and follower.
@@okieiam7236 were you using high cap mags
I just bought 1 of these rifles at Academy sports. it was on clearance for $99.98 and I got 1 of these mags that was also on clearance for $12.48. got it all cheap.
I have two 30 round magazines for the Remington 597 but they are not see through and they are black. I have shoot thousands of rounds through them and they work very well.
Would you please consider doing a comparison of all the 22 lr semi auto rifles. It would be fun to watch just like all your videos. Thank you for all you do.
Interesting enough ..... I should have viewed this video years ago. I purchased a similar 30rd clear plastic loaded for my 597. Did about the same frustration level. Happen to be in a Cabela's store up in MT and saw another 30 rd mag but in BLACK plastic. Hemmed and hawed about purchasing it. Luckily I had enough points to get it free. 1st time out flawless. Now .... a few years later I try the clear plastic mag again after changing out the extractor ...... same-o, same-o. So .... from my experience .... purchase the black plastic mags.
Replace the extractor with a volquartsen, and ur over filling the mags. It says 30 rounds but its really 25 rounds. I filled a test mag with 30 rounds and the spring broke. So just keep it at 25 and it sould be 👌
A little late in commenting .... but .... I've found the changing of extractor is probably the number one thing to do. Have had the same rifle for 24 yrs. Just that simple adaptable change made a WORLD of difference. As for the Mags ..... I've found the Remington 597 CLEAR ones are comparable to the pellet droppings from a llama. The BLACK ones, on the other hand, work extremely well, even with over loading to 32. Might want to try ProMag's 597 22rd mags. They seem to have worked well for me over the past 4-yrs.
24 years!? Is your serial number 0000001?
@@deuceandguns Sorry .... miss-spoke .... bought it in 1998. Guess that makes it 22 yrs. So .... after 70 .... been trying to figure out which is going first .... the Mind or the Body?
@@deuceandguns DEUCE AND GUNS WOW'zer .... I now see that I replied 2 years ago!!! I miss-spoke .... purchased it in 1998. What I said 2 years ago still holds merit. Might want to try the ProMag 22rd mags for the 597. They work OK.
I've tried buying two different brand new 30 round mags. I don't know how you managed to get two rounds in a row out of them. I don't know if it's the spring or a bad mold, but neither of them will feed even the second shot, and that's if I could even manage to load more than 20 shots. To then attempt to unload the magazines, I had to pry out every single round. I love the gun itself, and the ten round magazines work great, but I just can't get the 30 rounders to work.
The only rounds my 597 will shoot without a misfire is CCI mini mags.... I have never had a jam with them... And out of 10 30 round mags I have 6 that function properly out of the box...But after a little work all mine now all fire flawlessly...
Dawg Prepper what work did you do
CCI makes the best ammo for 22s on the market
it's just hit or miss with these things. Mine runs perfect. 30 round magazine runs flawlessly, except it also doesn't stay open after the last round. But I have no problems
Roger Roger what brand magazine
Good video, thanks for the demo, think I'll stay away from that clip for now.
Stick with the standard Remington magazines!
Like the 10 round mag will not hold 10 rounds right away, the 30 round mag will no hold 30 rounds when you first buy it; the spring has to get worn in. I started with 20 rounds and am up to 25 without any problems.
Magic Rooster I use 8 in the 10-round mags and 24 in the 30-rounds ones. Works like a charm,but I seemed to have been one of the lucky ones.
The worn magasine spring is a myth, they don,t get weaker after use, there are several youtube videos debunking this belief
Thank you for the information.
I like the video keep up the good work
Great video, I still prefer the ruger 10/22 or s&w m&p22. However this has convinced me to put a suppressor on my 10/22. Thanks for the review.
I'm confused. The video clearly shows the casing of the first round fly out of the chamber, especially when slowed to .25 speed. Then, you get a failure to fire. You open the chamber and find a spent case. HOW does that happen. :/ I'm definitely not doubting you, but I am curious. That was really odd.
Slade McCuiston well the only way is if he loaded an empty case into the mag instead of a live round, which I have to agree with you, is pretty weird.
Several times the empty ejected, but the bolt didn't travel back far enough to reset the hammer then picked up the next round and went into battery. As Deuce observed, the bolt was most likely dragging on the plastic mag lips.
Those 30 rd mags are an EPIC fail on Remington's part. My lightly used 597 came with 4 of those POS clear mags. After half an hour of going through the same probs as you, then having to pry em out, I gave up. I thought I was going to have to cut one in pieces to remove it. They're in a box somewhere in the garage now, never to see the light of day again.
Thank God the rifle came with 2 factory 10 rd mags. I've yet to have a problem with those and want to get a few more. For general plinking you really don't need more than that, IMHO.
Love the 597, but holy crap make some decent mags for em.
Thanks for putting up this video even though the results were not as good as you wanted. I am considering a used 597 at the pawn shop for $130. It really looks pretty new. The thumb pull on the slide pulls out easily. Is that not supposed to do that? I might go with a new 10 22 after seeing all the failures you had.
The bolt handle is supposed to pull out like that for cleaning and the actual rifle is fantastic with the most recent 10rd factory mags. This video was only about the 30rd mags being a problem but this 597 is at least twice as acurate as my 10/22 out of the box. (As in under an inch group at 50yds with any ammo) I've got a review of the 597 on the channel as well. Whatever you get don't even think about the Savage 64 see my reviews on that as well. Thanks for watching.
I call bull crap , shot 150 shots threw my 597 mag on the 597 and there wasn't a single jam.
You either get a bad one or good one
hey BC, I just bought a 30mag same as yours except black and the issue I have as of right now is that. once I put 1 round. it's hard to spring back up, and when insert on the rifle, the bolt doesn't get the round on the chamber.. please help or give advice on what to do on the mag,
That cci ammo is why it jammed
I have had so many issues with the magazines . I sat down the other day and spent 6 hours with an exacto knife and sandpaper just to get them to work . issues ranged from weak springs . springs breaking . too much plastic couldnt load rounds into the mag . burrs inside mag stopping feeding . halves of mags improperly mated together. I had to shave off and chisel out plastic under the feed lips to allow rounds to move up to the feed lips . I am guessing damaged molds . my magazines are from differant production runs over the last few years and none of them have worked without alot of fiddling with them . most of them have had all manner of insane QC defects . the 10 round mags work but none of the ones I have will actually hold 10 rounds . I love the rifel ..... HATE the mags
My factory 10 round mags also started out only holding 7 rounds. I've heard you can reverse the spring to fix it but I took a more direct approach. I took a small screw driver and forced the follower down all the way a few times and it's held 10 rounds from that point forward, sure it marked up the follower some but it's worked fine. My theory is that there is some casting flash inside that the spring is getting held up on but will break free with encouragement.
sounds about right . I am wondering if their molds met the same fate as what was rumored with marlins tooling once remington fired them off
My father just handed me down a brand new 597 in 22wmr today. Actually it was a used 17 that remington repaired/warranteed by putting a 22wmr on the old 17 stock. We are firing it for the first time this weekend. I am very interested in getting larger capacity magazines for it. Are these the 22wmr magazines giving all this grief? My sons and I have the Mossberg Blaze with 25 round mags and after a few issues during break in they have become perfectly reliable in 22lr with several brands of ammo. After 1 year of shooting have some of these issues with 22 magnum resolved themselves? Did you give up quickly and goback tothe smaller factory mags?
regular .22lr mags . i havent had any issues since i did all the work on them however i dont know how long they will last due to those brittle weak springs . havent used them much lately the supply of 22lr is still nonexistant around my area
I have one I got for Christmas 13 years ago ,I tried to return it to wal mart the day after Christmas and they would not return it. Every mag I have tried malfunctions One of the biggest POS Remington has ever manufactured. They should be ashamed to put their name on it. Just taking up room in my gun safe.
Lol it fits the Marlin 795. I got the wrong one, mistakened it for a champions mag Lol but I didn't realize it until I put the mag on. But wow I was surprised, the wrong one but it still fit. Lol
Hey. Will marlin 795 mags fit in a 597
Have you seen any for the remington 597 Magnum??? I can’t find ANY ANYWHERE 😭
After you fill the magazine tap it around a little bit so the bullets settle right and that shit is weird the first caseing did pop out wtf
I have the 597, forget this firearm. go with a Mossberg plinkster, no probloms there.
do you shoot cast through the 9 supressor? would you reccomend it?
I do but there are some things to keep in mind. Cast lead will leave lead in the can so it's important to have one that comes completely apart for cleaning. Another point is that you've got to be 100% confident in your reloading abilities because if one bullet tumbles inside the can it will take out the baffles inside making the suppressor useless. Remember that baffle strikes are not covered under the warranty.
ammo vaisting :) best thing to train - 22lr single shot
Got one of those also! th-cam.com/video/dAEM3Rxch30/w-d-xo.html
this guys muzzle control is atrocious, I guess in the states they don't have mandatory firearm courses that teach (A.C.T) and (P.R.O.V.E) like we do in Canada, he would never get a license in Canada if he operated a firearm like that in front of an instructor and would be banned from clubs/ranges if he displayed that type of behavior, not to mention he constantly has his finger in the trigger guard while failing to maintain muzzle control, Dangerous stuff man.
Randy Fetter it’s not atrocious, it’s just not super school book strict. Calm down.
Why does the bolt not hold open on the last round?
+Ray Williams Simply put this magazine is an inferior product. The stock mag works fine as does the rifle. The extended mag has a tab attached to the follower that is intended to actuate the hold open mechanism but either the tab isn't long enough or the spring tension isn't strong enough.
Hi what brand of silencer is that?
It's a Silencerco Octane 9HD. It's intended for 9mm and 300 blkout but works equally well as a 22 suppressor. Due to the multi caliber capability it's a bit bigger than the ones dedicated to just the 22 caliber. Here's a recent video where I put it on a Ruger 10/22 and take it to nearly full auto speeds. th-cam.com/video/MMUph3ELYeQ/w-d-xo.html&t
2:55 shouldn't you be looking where you're firing the damn firearm?! GunSafety TIP #1.....
Safety police
Buddy why and the hell would you put a suppressor on a 22
I'll tell you the same thing I told the ATF. "For all lawful purposes"
@@deuceandguns yeah they ain't loud to start with so
@@cjm5161 So they become hilariously quiet. Especially when you factor in that I'm using the suppressor that I usually have on my 9mm pistols and 300 blkout AR15s. It's not like I paid $1,000 for a 22 only suppressor. Multi purpose is where it's at when it comes to suppressors.
For the extra $50 I would get the rugar 22/10
I agree I have the remington 597 and the rifle is great but the magazines have major issue. I ended up buying 4 magazines and the magazine springs ended up breaking in all of them in 3 different spots rendering the magazine useless.
I just got 3 of them for 5 bucks each
@seymore butts where’d you get them for 5 bucks??
Bullshit ,I have two of Remington so called 30 round Mag! They only shoot 20- 25 then jamb!
Made in China ?
this guy needs earplugs for a 597?
Eyes and ears ALWAYS unless I'm using my can then it's usually eyes only. 22LR has a db range of 130-145 and hearing damage begins at 85db...Oh sorry, I forgot you couldn't hear well...THE 22LR HAS A DB RANGE OF 130-145 AND HEARING DAMAGE BEGINS AT 85DB. All kidding aside it's a proven fact that the noise level generated by the 22lr even from a rifle will damage hearing incrementally. Google is your friend on this so feel free to research for yourself.
@@deuceandguns right on
Bulk ammo effs up guns. Too much paraffin all over the place.
This gun SUCKS lucky to shoot 2 rounds
What a pos compared to a 10/22 heck I'd take a marlin over that remy!
The gun's fantastic, its the crappy mags that kill it.
@@maineiachomestead7550 I agree fully it a nice gun but Magazine totally suck ,,,and there is no one that make a good magazine for them !
