Xavier has this for us Ruger MkII owners:
There is a tweak to be done on the Ruger MKII magazines, that will make every one of them reliable. After a bit of inspection, I realized that I had a “new” un-tweaked magazine in the mix. The rim of the spent casing was striking the left rear lip of this magazine and causing the stove pipes.
I’ve not had any stove piping issues. In fact, the only problems I’ve ever had with the thing have been a couple of misfeeds that I’m attributing to all the crap all over the ammo in one particular box of Federal cheap stuff. (I meant to post on that when I first ran into it but never got around to it. I’ll have to see if I can manage it.)
One of my mags was bought brand new and hasn’t been “fixed,” but if you’ve got issues maybe give this a try.
