I need a Ruger MK2 magnum 458 lott magazine box
I've been waiting months for Brownells to back order this and was finally told that it is discontinued or out of production.I've tried Midway and another parts seller and can't find one.Anyone know where I might find one?

Would this be available direct from Ruger? Or is this an upgrade?

this is an original Ruger part.Mine became deformed from recoil when I didn't put everything together properly.it looks as if Ruger will no longer be making them.

What happened with Ruger? I would think he would
have one or could tell you were to find one.

Here is the new mag box,installed.The problem with the other was that it became deformed after I did not install it properly.It did not stay under the feed ramp and maintain the position it is in the photograph.It shifted during recoil and made a sharp edge that would damage the bullets.
