Assembled DoubleKross Magazine FAQs
Is the DoubleKross Magazine legal for competition?
Legality depends on your sanctioning body and shooting class. Each compartment holds 10 rounds, matching the standard factory magazine count, so the DoubleKross is generally legal in classes that permit 10-round magazines. Steel Challenge and most NRL22 rulebooks do not restrict round count per magazine during most stages; verify current rules with your local match director before competing. The magazine is a coupled 10-round design, not a high-capacity magazine under most federal definitions, but check your state laws. The DoubleKross cannot ship to several states.
Does the DoubleKross Magazine fit my 10/22® without modifications?
Yes, for all listed compatible models: Ruger® 10/22® Carbine, Takedown, Takedown LITE, Compact, Tactical, Sporter, Target, 22 Charger™, and the TKX22 Light Rifle. The DoubleKross uses the same rotary magazine footprint as the factory 10-round magazine and seats in the same receiver. No modifications to the firearm are needed. If you are running an aftermarket chassis or stock with a non-standard magazine well, verify clearance before purchase.
How do I reload with the DoubleKross Magazine?
After your first 10 rounds, drop the magazine, rotate it 180 degrees so the second compartment faces forward, and reinsert. This flip-reload is faster than seating a separate magazine because the motion is consistent and the magazine stays in your hand throughout. Load both compartments before your stage and you have 20 rounds ready across two identical insertions.
What is the difference between the Assembled DoubleKross and the DoubleKross Magazine Body?
The Assembled DoubleKross Magazine includes the complete, tuned magazine ready to load and shoot, with all internal components installed and optimized at the factory. The DoubleKross Magazine Body is the housing only, sold separately for shooters who want to build or rebuild their own magazines using parts they already have. If you want a drop-in, ready-to-run magazine, choose the assembled version. If you are replacing a damaged body or building a custom setup, the body alone is the right choice for you.

Great concept but dimensions aren't quite the same as the BX10 mags...
I shoot steel challenge and bowling pin shoots at a local sportsmen's club and after a full season I decided having the mags on my hip would be a notable improvement over going back and forth between the shooter's box and the ready table. I ordered the three mag pouch (sorry Tandemkross, you didn't have them in stock so I had to order it from another retailer). These arrived within a couple of days and I was excited to test them out. I use six BX10 mags that are pretty well broken in. They insert and fall out pretty smoothly. I was shocked when I inserted the first doublekross mag and it was a tight fit. I expected it to be a little rough since they are new, but it clicked in and then was stuck in my rifle. I should note that my rifle is a custom build on a TacSol take-down receiver (I didn't try these in my stock 10/22 but should have). Once I was able to pry the doublekross mag from the receiver, I compared the mags to the BX10 mags I have and noticed that the doublekross mags are a bit deeper (front to back) than the BX10 mags. A small modification using a dremel with a sanding drum (at low speed and cautiously) was able to remove enough material to bring the mags into the same specs as the BX10. I test fitted the mags into my rifle again and they clicked right in and released just fine (still not as smooth as the BX10 mags but I attribute that to new versus broken in). Once I confirmed that all three of the new doublekross mags fit, I went back at them with the dremel using a dry polishing pad to smooth out all of the surfaces I modified. These feed just fine and I don't have to worry about the weight issue like with the BX15s or BX25s (where the weight of the mag causes it to tilt slightly in the receiver and results in a misfeed or gouges in the bullet). Overall a good product that works well with a small modification. I don't use the clear mags as round count isn't really a concern but I can see the appeal. I am interested to see the durability of the polymer feed lips versus the metal feed lips on my bx10s but I don't anticipate this being a concern based on my limited use so far.

Assembled DOUBLEKROSS Magazine
I had previously ordered their Body only and have already commented on it. My curiosity about the polymer feed lips was piqued and I decided to order this assembled unit. I weighed both the unit I assembled and this unit on my digital scale and the unit I assembled using components from mags I had on hand and using their Green Springs weighed 14.7 oz compared to this fully assembled one that weighed 11.3 oz. The lips being the only Difference. I will edit/update this review after range time with both.

Very pleased
So glad TK started selling these as a complete unit, and they still work with my speed loader. look at feel great ! Another home run for TK

Review
I thought this would be a good addition for shooting steal plate challenge in a league where I have to do a mag change. I practiced several times and used it twice in competition. I had one failure to advance a round, I chalked it up to being new and that was the only time. I do like the concept and it appears to be well made. Here is my biggest issue, I instinctively wanted to flip the mag forward to get to the other side - going either forward or backwards seems more natural to me. However, the mag comes out and you have to flip is sideways left or right. Notice in the video of the mag the guy pulls the mag out and holds it against his body to flip before reinsertion. It is just not natural. You can hold it in your hand while practicing and spin it between your fingers but that isn't practical in competition. Is there a way to make the two sections modular so they can come apart and the shooter can decide which way they want them aligned for their style of shooting? I can shoot a 15 or 25 round mag but am required to do a mag change, with this orientation, it isn't much if any quicker. It appears to be durable and well made so I anticipate it lasting as long as I do. Because it wasn't as fast as I think it could be, I gave it a 3. Also consider putting finger holes/grooves in the center where it pivots if you keep the left to right configuration. You could then grab with your hand and pivot between your thumb and middle finger.
