10/22 Factory mags sticking

I have two of the factory 10rd "cylinder" type magazines that fit flush with the bottom of the stock. One clear, the other black, both made by Ruger. The last few times out they both started to stick (rds would stick down in them and not be pushed up to the feed lips). I would have to take the mags out and tap them on my hand to free them up.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Can I just spray some lubricant down in them, or will that cause a problem?

Thanks for the help.

Are you using something like CCI Stingers that are a little longer than normal 22LR ammo?

Shootlow, Thanks, I just wanted to make sure it was alright before spaying them full of something.

KJ, I'm just using Rem Golden bonus packs. I've put thousands of them through it without problem. Shootlows probably right, their just dry/dirty, I've never lubed or cleaned them. Good to see ya![8D]

Great site! Thanks. I took them both apart, following the sites instructions, and lubed them up. They both work perfectly now.

The cheap plastic extended mag releases will do that too.
