Yemx, as for the gen 1 or gen 2 breech I don't believe there should be any difference, they do use the same factory mag as far as I know. The fact that yours is a little loose is pretty surprising. The dimension that mainly affects the tightness is the distance from the bottom of the barrel to the bottom of the mag slot in the breech. The fact that yours is a little loose means that crossman is much more generous with tolerances than I thought, but I guess as long as the the barrel and bolt are aligned should be fine from crossman's standpoint.

As William said when the mag snaps onto the barrel it is centered. I was hoping for perfection and zero movement when its custom fitted to each persons breech. Looks like one mag fits all perfectly won't be an option, all will probably require hand finishing. Ill probably have to add a little more material to the bottom of the mag to account a little more. After you get a chance to test shoot it, if there are any issues let me know.

Also, William and Yemx the whole aim of this mag was to hopefully, by adding tight tolerances and a no-go-no gauge that it would lead the better consistency that would lead to improved accuracy over the factory magazine. If you notice any accuracy changes or reduced fliers let me know. My available shooting range is a bit short so as I think I'm getting better results I'm also byist so would enjoy hearing other peoples opinion.

thanks
Bob

Got a chance to go out today and shoot a few full Mags of pellets through the 15 round magazine. Works perfect no hesitation or sticking, smooth as butter.

This is a big difference in quality when you compare it with the factory magazine, the 15 shots sure take longer to shoot thats for sure. This is a great magazine for hunting, you will only need one mag for a hunting session which means less reloading and fiddling around.

Remember if you get one of these 15 round magazines for your Marauder or BNM breached gun you must use High Scope mounts and you will need to do a little sanding to make it fit into your breach, further back in this post is instructions for the fitting if needed. Some Airguns may not need any modification to the mag to make it fit!

I only had to sand a little off the bottom of the breech for it to fit to my desired tightness.

Thank you Scharfe for making such a great product

William

Bob,
Looks good, I'm guessing but as smooth as it is, it almost looks like a powder coating!
I am thinking though that if it is, what I think it is, that new item you purchased must be a really good one, not going to mention what it is, that way if Im wrong nobody will ever know lol

Updated-- Ok Now I see what you did!

Looking good, I like it

William

Trying to get some data collection for pellet sizes going. If anyone has some data they would like to share, the new post can be found here.

Alright, finalized my mrod magazine design, and took the plunge and had 25 of the aluminum parts hard anodized in black, figured out how to get an almost perfectly clear machine finish.

They will be for sale on the Hobbiest Classified Gate

http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=83629.new#new

A couple final modifications.

1. Added a slot to allow easier opening and rotating of the top plastic piece

2. Got rid of the press fit insert for rotating the center piece, and machined the feature into the aluminum piece.

And a couple more pictures, Im very happy with the final product.

I see you've been busy, excellent job. I like the black center and adding that notch to spin the top piece was an excellent Idea.
Took me a few minutes while on my last post to figure out you anodized the center piece, I figured it out when I seen that you named one of the pics "anodized _zpsfaky8c3p.jpg", you really have done a nice job on these and I will be looking forward to seeing more of your improvement projects in the future.

Excellent

William

Good catch on the anodize haha. Hopefully, funds permitting, there will more fun stuff in the future.

I had decided to find myself a Gen 2 Refurbished Marauder in .25 last week, due to all the glowing posts I've read, and the many successful mods & parts being done. This outstanding production just further enforces the Marauder as a best bargain for a natural tinkerer willing to dig in & customize. So, I'll be watching for the .25 cal version of your magazines!

Haha, I still do have some of these, they are built to order $60/pc. Please check that if you have a scope it will clear the larger magazine, page 5 of this post shows about how tall your scope rings will have to be. I used to have detailed instructions on how to check if it would fit but it looks like they have expired. Trying to find them back now.

Hey, Bob, just saw this tread of yours- nice work, man! I did not read thru all 6 pages, so forgive me if I ask and it’s been answered already. 25 caliber magazines for my synod, do you make these, also? What about for the 22 caliber P-rod?
Let me know, and thank you

I only own a .22 cal marauder, so that’s the only magazine that I’ve been able to develop and test.

That is a sharp looking magazine, Great job.

Have a question for you, if you don't mind,

I have a repeater action that takes M-rod magazines, 22 cal, can't mention the name, (arrow guy)....
will these magazines fit that action?

Can you provide these dimensions, for the 10/15 rd magazines.
maximum thickness, total overall height, I am curious to see if your mag will fit this action.

Measurements of this action:
I have 1.600" from the bottom of the magazine slot to the bottom of the scope, using the tall rings, (unknown brand name),
.320" clearance from the top of the mag to bottom of the scope (1.000" diameter scope.)

Magazine thickness (opening for mag) is .600" wide, bottom of the bbl to bottom of the slot is .200",
from the end of the bbl to side of the slot is .530".

I hope all this makes sense.

Thank you,
Don

Please see the dimensions in the photo below. I believe this magazine might be too tall for you current scope rings.

The magazine is .588" thick.
The bottom of the slot for the barrel to the bottom of the action is about .183"

This magazine was designed to be interchangeable with the mrod magazine, but I have only tested it on a mrod, so I can't say it will fit anything other than that. You are welcome to try as long as you are ok with paying return shipping if it doesn't work I would refund you.

I can't lie, it was so unique and pretty (looked unused) that I set it aside and kept using the OEM ones, so I can't offer a durability report.
