I sent a few 3d printed parts out to my good friend aceflier and asked him what else do you think we can come up with. He came back with a mag holder (brilliant!!!!!!) ;D
Unfortunately, I can not do exactly what he sketched up (too big for my printer) BUT, I am getting close with something else that may be interesting.
-
That is pretty interesting, how securely does it hold the magazine?
-
I would assume a tension fit... Those wings look thin and flexible. I would assume they're a few thou thicker than the size of the mag... Just press it in. Could be wrong though
-
Yup, tension fit. I also added a rubber band guide to the sides just in case it needed it. Press it in or slip/click in from the top. Whole assembly slides onto the scope rail with tension fit too.
I think I am done. 25 cal and 22 cal. Good to go.
-
Very nice!!!

Tom-YEMX and PaulT58,
Since you and PaulT58 thought it was neat, PM me with your address and what caliber you would want it for and I'll send one out as soon as I can get to the post office.
I thought it was pretty neat too and have not seen a MAG holder for our Mrods yet. So, I was wondering if I should try to sell a couple on Ebay for a couple bucks.
-
Is there any reason that won’t work on my Gauntlet since it fits on the scope rails? It’s the same magazine.
-
Sure would fit if it's the same mag and 11mm dovetail scope mount.
-
Yo Dave,
Completely great idea. Let's see if it works for the Gauntlet. Send me a PM with an address to ship to.

You should for $15. That way it covers listing fees and shipping and you make a few bucks. JMHO. Nice work Tim.
-
PM sent! Thank you for your generosity! I'm looking forward to giving this contraption a try, if it works as good as it looks, I may have to get one for my other Mrod and my Gauntlet! LOL!
-
PM sent. I’ll let everyone know how it works on my Gauntlet. Many thanks for your generosity.
-
Lookin good man!
-
That's a great idea Tim. I've always wanted a way to carry some extra mags instead of in my pocket. If I see them on ebay I will get me one for each of my guns. The same goes for that Tac light holder.
-
Been making as many of these mag holders as time permits and figured I would take a break since I am running low on filament. Believe it or not, I really did look at nearly every search engine image to see if it was a copy of anything and didn't find anything close to it in design until this morning. I hate copy-cat stuff.
Anyhoo,
My design is different but now makes me feel weird since it appears similar. So what do you do in a situation like this ?

Well, from that picture it's really hard to tell how it attaches to the rifle or if it's a single or double carrier. Since it only shows one magazine, and there's no apparent Copyright warning, I would say you're double carrier is an innovative and different design! I'm really looking forward to trying it out!
EDIT: After looking at that picture again, and enlarging it to see the details better, it appears to be a single carrier attached to a Picatiny rail that is somehow attached to the rifle. So, I would say your design is very different! And, I like yours much better because no extra accessories are required and it holds twice as many magazines! You may want to apply for your own Patent!
-
Really great idea Paul and solving a common problem. I'd like the same thing for the prod and maybe my Brockton bantam. Any chance of branching out? Wayne
-
Would like to do the Prod too but I don't have a Prod mag or the dimensions of the mag to make one.
All I need is the thickness and diameter ( not including the square portion )just the diameter. Maybe I will just buy one to get it right the first time.

Tim
Prod 8rd mag
Diameter 1.24 Black mag, Clear cover Dia 1.245
thickness max 0.630
-
If you make the Prod, one I take one Tim.
Got a crazy one for ya though.. Prod scope rail with dual .25 cal Mrod mag holder for the mini-rod, needs to clear 30mm scope.
Let me know what you think, for going outside the box we can up the $$ for a one off tooling/engineering.
Randy
-
Randy,
Post a picture of the mini rod and post it. I think the current 25 configuration would work but would like to see a picture to be more clear. Thanks for the dimensions too. Currently working on the Prod holders.
-
Tim,
My .22 Prod was converted to .25 cal and got the name mini-rod using the same Prod breech with a .25 Mrod barrel in it, plus it uses the factory Mrod mags... The mini-rod is the gun on the bottom of the photo attached, no scope mounted.
-
Randy,
I make the holder in 3 pieces then glue it together. Scope rail mount then the 2 mag cases. I bet if I sent the 25 rifle one to you with out gluing it together, you can get it to work by gluing it together yourself. This way you can adjust height of the mag case on the scope rail mount.
I guess that would be a good question for anyone interested. Is it better to have it assembled and glued together or would it be better if it was disassembled for the user to glue it together or maybe just the choice.
-
I'd prefer it fully assembled (already aligned and glued) so I know it will be even and the correct adhesive was used, instead of me trying to glue it with an unsteady hand, crooked eye, and substandard glue! But, hey, that's just me! LOL!~

This may sound heartless but...
Just have two versions- the unassembled version for $15, the assembled for $20. Arbitrary prices, just for an example. That way, the customer gets to choose...
-
Tim,
For the mini-rod 3 piece mag holder would be best, let me know what type of adhesive to use. I may have to get creative because the scope has to be in the position to allow the mag to fit under the 30mm tube between the turrets & power ring. Prod mag holder assembled would be preferred.
I'll send you a PM with contact info.
-
we're serious here I'll take one, you set the price as well.Let me know. Wayne ps full feed back gaurrented.
-
Very sharp ! I like it.
I love it when a person see's a need, exercises a little creative ingenuity., and creates a useful tool to fit the need.
Bravo to you and a job well done.
When you get these available for purchase, I'll certainly be looking to buy and try one myself.
-
Thanks for the kind words guys. It was actually aceflier that requested and sketched up something for the stock and this is what it turned into. I would have never thought about it.
So, I have been trying to conjure up something special for him ( yes I am letting the cat out of the bag ) for his .457 Texan. It's coming along and I hope it works out.
Aceflier,
How many use-able shots do you get on a fill ?
The Mrod mags / gauntlet mags will be on Ebay soon. Trying to set it up as quickly as possible ( this is new to me ). I have ordered a Prod mag so that I can get a really nice fit so they will be coming next.
My wife just told me that it only cost $3.50 to ship anywhere in the states which is great and makes this a cheap (gimmick) thingy that if it breaks or doesn't work as expected is not a waste of money.
I need to know from the forum admins if it's Ok to post the Ebay link when it's up ? If not, I will figure something else out to let you know it being listed.
-
Looking forward to receiving the one you sent me! I would think it okay to post these in the Member Classified Gate, but then again, what do I know! LOL! How fast can you turn these out? This is liable to take off on you!

3-5 shots is good. I bring a 30min tank in a backpack so I can get around 30-40 off it.

I received my mag holders from Tim (shorty) today and got it mounted on my .25 Synrod. They fit perfectly! Here are a few pictures of how well they fit on my Marauder:
Thank you again Tim, these are truly amazing!
-
Haven’t got mine yet! Brought a package inside today thought they were mine and had to pick some things up around town. Got home asked wife where’s my package? She said it’s your daughters bathing suits. :'(
Will be here early next week I’m sure. They look good brother!
-
Those look nice. They should also fit a Gauntlet/QB repeater as is, but could likely be narrowed up a bit as I believe the Gauntlet breech is a little narrower than the Mrod.
-
Awesome, I want one
-
Wife was finally able to figure out the Ebay thing. Weird how you have to get permission to sell more than 10 items a month. I had no idea.
Anyway,
PaulT I am happy it fits and works.
Listing is up on Ebay now.
Yo Tim,
Here's what I have been working on for the .457". PEZ dispenser for those huge slugs. It's challenging and made 3 or 4 different designs so far but always keep coming up short with stupid design problems. Just fun to do. funny thing is I had to 3d print "simulated" .457 cal slugs. Boy they look funny and HUGE.

Benjamin Marauder .177/.22/.25 cal Dual Mag Clip (DoveTail Scope Mount Only!) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Benjamin-Marauder-177-22-25-cal-Dual-Mag-Clip-DoveTail-Scope-Mount-Only/163156121269?hash=item25fcdcd6b5%3Am%3Amtlb9UWOBMic7riuWjd3q6w&var=462319215676&_sacat=0&_nkw=benjamin+marauder+rifle+mag+holder&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0/)

Hey Tim, What's this about needing some rubber bands to hold in the mags? I got two in my cart, but don't want to use rubber bands or fuss with rubber bands.
-
Ordered one
-
You might have something here Tim!!!
Seems like a very fair price, and you have 100% positive feedback as a seller. Honestly though, some of the pics are kinda blurry. Maybe better pics in the future could help sales?
Cool, nice job, good luck.
Steve
-
OK Tim, I see you added more pictures and the rubber band doesn't look like you have to fuss with it which is great.
I have one more question. Will the mags fall out if you turn the gun upside down to view the gauge? It just looks like they might so some clarification is needed please. Thanks!
-
Holding the gun upside down, the mags will not fall out vertically. Should not all fall out vertically.
I choose the rubber band as a safety for a couple reasons ( and yes I know it's not the greatest ).
You can pop/slide the mag out vertically and or pull the mag out nearly horizontal. So if you have a low or high scope you can still get the mag out. The material is PLA and I have made some parts like hooks for my swimming pool and the material in the sun all day changes shape slightly or becomes easier to deform. Remember I am in Fl and it's HOT my friend.Lastly, everyone has rubber bands.
I guess you can put a small piece of black electrical tape on the inside of the holder fins for an even more snug fit ? Or heat up a knife and melt the plastic to make a ridge.
My last design was with tabs on the side. Boy do they hold the mag in tight. Not sure if I need a design change but by using the tabs you can only remove the mag vertically which may be a turn off too.
I have not changed the design since I have shipped out a couple to a few guys for them to check out. Hopefully they can answer some of your questions too because if you guys don't know me by now, I am not a business person at all. I usually just give my stuff away because I know we all work really hard for our money and free never causes problems. ;D
I truly hope no one has a problem with theirs. I don't want to be "that guy" that sells you a POS.
-
Steve,
The 100% positive feedback thing is my wife. I have never used Ebay and I usually ask her to do stuff with whatever deals with the money. I'll just spend it all or screw up all the bills. ;D
If I mess up her Ebay feedback thing, I will never hear the end of it. :D :D ;D 8)
The pictures are terrible. I know... My cell phone does 2 things. Texts (barely) and makes calls. Positive things about it and why I don't get anything else, holds a charge for ever and cost me 15 bucks a month.
-
I don't have the rubber bands on mine, I have turned it every which way and the fully loaded magazine (8, 27.8 gr pellets per mag) have not come loose.
Tim, you are more than welcome to use the pictures I posted here if you'd like. Not sure they are any better, but you are more than welcome to use them.
I'll be ordering one more in .22 for my Gauntlet. I'm not sure it will work on my .22 Mrod because I have the big side focus wheel on it. Maybe a single mag holder (right side only) would work for it.
-
PaulT,
Even though you have the 25 cal mag holder does it really fit on your Gauntlet too. I am dying to hear if the one I sent to Dave fits on his.
-
Is there any reason that won’t work on my Gauntlet since it fits on the scope rails? It’s the same magazine.
Here is one I made recently designed specifically for the Gauntlet:

I don't plan on making any more for the Gauntlet (too complicated). Though I might do a similar cheek piece magazine holder for the G2 m-rod.
-
PaulT,

I’ll check when I get the .22 Mag holder. I have already installed the holder and scope and resigned the scope, so not really wanting to pull that one apart. The way I have it set up, the holder is positioned behind the front set of rings, so it’s not removable without removing the scope. The one I have coming is for my Gauntlet, so I’ll take lots of pictures once it arrives.
-
holly-moly that's a mag holder Scott. I hope to be that good in CAD one day. That's exactly what Acefliers sketch was.
-
I picked up a couple of the mag holders today to support Tim's efforts on this, and am looking forward to checking them out. Not sure how well they will work with my large A/O wheels, but I'm hoping I can make them work. I have to have the wheels due to an issue I have with my arm. I really wanted the Tac light holder too, but couldn't find them.

Wow! That's a heck of a mag holder! I don't own enough magazines to fill that one! LOL! Excellent design though! Way to optimize the Realestate on that cheek piece!
-
Keith,
You should receive the Tak light holder too. I included it just for you. Hope it's for the same flashlight. Mine says Atomic Beam on it but I thought that was the tak light.
Anyhoo,
I am sending the light holder anyway.
-
I read some time ago that Crosman sold 25,000 Mrods. Maybe someone has better, more current data?

Got mine today Tim! Nice work my man! No more carrying mags in my pocket during nutter season! Perfect press fit to the rail and it seems fine withought a rubber band. Thanks bud! Now I have to buy a 3rd mag that I’ve been putting off.
-
Wow... what a great idea. Thanks for developing this Tim! just sent off for mine today.
Cheers pal,
Mike
-
Glad you got yours Tim and I hope it works just like mine.
Not sure if you guys work with your wife's on projects like this but she's killing me. Got multiple texts from her while at "day job" saying stuff like:
"Ohh... you said you had inventory ready for me that was double checked and ready to go"
next ( before I can even respond )
" Ok great.... you have .177/22 cal ready only......ohh well guess new order order won' go out today. You need to get your as$ in gear and do what you said you were going to do"
Holy &^^& man,
She's a beast. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Please,
If there is a problem with the mag holders lets' keep it between us here on GTA. I will truly never hear the end of it if I ruin here EBAY feedback thing or anything else. Holy carp..... 8)
-
I can 100% sympathize. Will make sure you get absolutely glowing review on ebay from me!
if mama aint happy, aint nobody happy.
cheers pal!
Mike
-
It was yours that she was yelling at me about.... >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
I fixed it up as fast as I could when I got home from work so maybe she can get it in the mailbox but I missed her by minutes.
I am gonna hear it tonight.
Not only that, I have a "newly" turned 13 year daughter (going on 25) that hates me for grounding her for talking back.
Man, when does it end.
-
Wait... so you -didn't- get mine in the mail??? oh... somebody's wife is going to hear about 'this'!
(kidding, kidding... watch the blood pressure Tim).
Let me tell you about giving grand kids chocolate cake and them bouncing off the beds (and walls), wife staring at me with daggers pleading to 'make them stop'.
but ... we DO appreciate the creativity of your design.
so it's true then, that no good deed goes unpunished? :P

It's good that I jumped on in early before he runs out of glue stick or plastic rod or whatever the materials are. Not sure he would survive through that with orders pending lol. I think this is a great idea and one I have been wanting. No more forgetting mags or rattling mags when walking/stalking.

I would think getting your own account and not tying this venture into your wife's acc't. would be the best bet. With the way eBay waffles about gun related listings, you could be setting yourself up for a real whuppin' from her...

Now make one with a taller saddle for the Armada Picatinny top rail. ;)

I did receive it last night in the mail and it DOES work fine on the Gauntlet. Ideally, I’ll mount it just behind the front scope post and in front of the bolt but will have to remove the scope to accomplish this. It should be ideal for hunters. Thanks for sharing your idea and this accessory.
-
Temporary mount...
-
Dave,
I am so happy you received it and it looks like it's really gonna fit on the Gauntlet. Your pictures are awesome. Great quality. I am dying to see how it will look in the front scope ring mount.
I don't own a Gauntlet but would love to use your pictures for listing them for the Gauntlet. Would that be Ok with you ?
PCPhack
For the Armada stuff with weaver rail, the only thing I have to copy and test with is my trail Np. I'll give it a shot.

Hi Shorty, Tim,
I just placed my order for one of these mag holders on Ebay,... but I brainfarted and forgot to specify .22 caliber size. I did place a "message to seller" identifying myself, so it should be easy for you to see which order it is.
If you need further info or clarification, please feel free to PM me.
THANKS ! for making these available,
Cheers
-
Ordered 1. Thank you for offering these at such a low price. I wish you success in this endeavor.
-
I got an email from eBay this morning saying mine has shipped out and should be here next Wednesday. Looking forward to seeing how well it fits and holds mags.
Thanks
-
Very cool! I have a 3D printer that I need to dust off (Makergear M2) so I can do more tweaking on my Marauders. What printer are you using?
-
Nice solution and great price, ordered 1 too.
-
Thanks for everyone's support. For the last 4 or 5 years that I have been messing around with the marauders, I have always wanted to have my name on something that others can use on their guns, didn't have have to pay an arm and leg for, and it functioned as it worked for me.
All I can think was I need that one thing to kick off something really good and maybe I can finally give back to the community at very reasonable price to upgrade our marauders.
For me, it's really stress-full. I always think the worst...... :(
Since this little cheap doo-dad thing came up, all I can think about now is, all the things I did to my marauders to get the efficiency and power levels that everyone wants with inexpensive parts.
A big thanks to GTA too for allowing me to post this stuff and putting up with me for all those years.
-
Some other possible items you could offer up if you wanted to from the 3D printer or other means:
- 2.5-3" Dual wire springs so folks could cut them down for custom fit in many applications.
- Plenum extensions
- TP's
- Hogged out Mrod valves with reasonable pricing
- Custom valve spring to work with those valves
- LW Mrod fill port caps
- Tac light holders
- Depingers
- Lead dust collectors
- Baffles...
-
Keith,
All those things are on my mind and want to sell them. Pulled down bolt probe is the first on my list to allow full use of .187" porting for our 25's as it seems like no one wants to do this. Most have no idea that using a stock bolt with .187 porting is the same as just porting it to .16". Without this one mod, going to .187" is not using it to it's full potential.
Would you believe that direct replacement K baffles for the stock shroud are as effective as putting on a hill "extension" LDC ?????
-
Tim,
I received the mag holder I ordered for my Gauntlet. Unfortunately, it does not fit mine. The actual holders are attached a tad too low and they hit the stock. I attached a few pictures so you can see how close it is.
The good news is it fits my .22 Marauder just fine! I thought it wouldn't work on it because of the side focus wheel on the scope, but there was plenty of clearance!
-
Keith,
You should receive the Tak light holder too. I included it just for you. Hope it's for the same flashlight. Mine says Atomic Beam on it but I thought that was the tak light.
Anyhoo,
I am sending the light holder anyway.
I didn't receive the Tak light holder as promised, so I am bummed out about that. I did however receive two mag holders, one for each of my guns and they fit and work perfectly, and I really like them. I didn't even have to pull the scopes to install them. I really don't see the need for the bands at this time as the mags fit snug enough without them. If they do loosen by chance over time from leaving the mags in them constantly, I do have those as an option/remedy.
-

"I didn't receive the Tak light holder as promised,"
Keith,
This was special to me too because I know you have wanted it since I made it. I am bummed too that you did not receive it today. I have been informed from my BOSS that it did indeed ship and when she get's done with (whatever she is doing :o - making the family dinner ;D ;D) she will inform me of the tracking information.
I did get a little bit of information before me and my son left for haircuts though (although it's hear-say). Quote very loudly as I was going out the door :-[ " I am not going to the post office twice a day, I shipped the extra (whatever you call it-bad words after that) the next day" so your friend should get it tomorrow.
So Keith,
Please hang in there. I am sure it's on it's way. If something went wrong I am a man of my word and you will receive the holder.
Yo PaulT,
I will re-design for the Gauntlet tonight and ship out tomorrow for you.Thank you so much for the pictures and I know what to do. Consider it done.

Funny I just read my last post like 3 times and I am still laughing "inside-quietly".
I am not sure how many of you work with your wife on little projects like this but whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
No worries Tim. I guess I made a mistake when assuming you said you tossed it in with the mag holders.
Also, I am not sure why both of my mag holders came in two different packages/shipments when both were in my cart and paid for at the same time. There's probably a process going on that I am not aware of that works better for you two. Just hated to see your margins reduced.
I am tickled pink about these mags holders. Anyone with a Marauder should be jumping on these. Best thing since air for the Marauders.

I did get a little bit of information before me and my son left for haircuts though (although it's hear-say). Quote very loudly as I was going out the door :-[ " I am not going to the post office twice a day, I shipped the extra (whatever you call it-bad words after that) the next day" so your friend should get it tomorrow.
LOL! You have me cracking up with this! You sound like my wife and myself. As she was heading out the door tonight, he parting comment, in a rather snarky tone: "I'm going to work, are you going to play with your new toy?" She was referring to the DAR117 I just received the other day.
Yo PaulT,

You are awesome! Thank you so much! I really wanted one for the Gauntlet, but resigned myself to the fact it still fit the Marauder, so all was good. Thanks again and I look forward to giving the Gauntlet Mag Holder a new home!

Received mine today, had to mount it behind the scope due to my side wheel but it works great. Have to order a third mag now :) Much better then having it in my pocket or vest

So, Keith has go me thinking alot about this TAK light holder "I sure hope he get's it soon".
I have been thinking about a combo pack that includes:
1) TAK light
2)Tak light mount
3) direct replacement K Baffles
4) Mag holder
An all in one accessories bag.
I was supposed to get PaulT's Gauntlet stuff out this week but my "boss/wife" has been difficult" cause this is all I have been doing for the last couple days.
BUT,
What she doesn't know is that I have been putting together the "goodie bag for him" ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
and
Hopefully I can get it all in the package so she doesn't see what I doing.
HAH- ;D
-
Thanks Tim! I did receive the TAK light holder today. The fill cap end fits nice and snug, but the flashlight end is a little loose. I plan on melting an inward tab of sorts to make it a more snug fit so the light doesn't push out when working the switch. I'm lov'n it though!
-
Good to hear Keith.
PaulT,
You should get the modified Gauntlet mag holder tomorrow or the next day. Unfortunately, my goodies bag was discovered and the 8 k baffles and the flashlight holder was removed from upper management >:( >:( >:( >:(
Please let me know how the Gauntlet mag holder fits.

LOL! You need to find a new hiding place in a MFZ (Management Free Zone)! Tracking is estimating delivery on Thursday. I'll post up some pictures of it on my Gauntlet so you can see how it fits!

mine came in last Sunday, and test fitted today.
Looks pretty good so far. Nice snug fit.

Ron,
That is the most beautiful stock I have ever seen on the marauder. Does it feel good when handling and where did you get it. I would love to have a stock like that.

I received my mag holder for the Gauntlet today! I did have to put two strips of electrical tape on the inside of the top rail of the holder to keep it from sliding on the scope rail, but other than that small mod, it fits great! I'm guessing the rail on the Gauntlet might be a bit thinner than the Marauder and that's why it fits looser than they do on the Marauder scope rail. All in all, I love it! Thanks again for such an innovative solution to carrying magazine when in the field!

Hey Paul,
Thank you for everything your helping me with. Do you think if I added a set screw to the top of the rail mount that it would be be able to snug down to a tight fit? Say like a 6/32 set screw.
If so,
These Gauntlet mag holders will be launched tomorrow. And, with your permission, I would really like to snag your pictures if that's Ok with you.
If not,
I think I may need to get a gauntlet to get precision fits and I am not thinking that's gonna happen with upper management.
I do have to say though,,,
It really looks good on that gauntlet. Like it was made for it. Awesome stuff. ;D ;D ;D
Maybe I should just do a 6/32 grub screw on all the mag holders. Ohh I am so confused.

Tim, I think the set screw is an awesome idea! Of course that might kill your reason to get a Gauntlet and have that precise fit you achieved with the Marauder mag holder! LOL! The Gauntlet is an amazing rifle, so you sure wouldn't go wrong getting one! In fact, after installing the mag holder I did some shooting and shot two 10 round mags at 40 yards, the results are below, 10 rounds per target!
As for the pictures, you are more than welcome to use them how you'd like! If you need any more, just let me know! Thanks again, and I'm thrilled I was able to assist!

Nice shooting Paul.

Ron,
That is the most beautiful stock I have ever seen on the marauder. Does it feel good when handling and where did you get it. I would love to have a stock like that.
The stock is a Boyd's Blaster, originally designed for the Ruger 10/22.
Back when Gen 1 Marauders first took over the PCP market, the major complaint we all had was the factory stock.
it was too fat , bulky ,in the grip aera, and it was angled wrong. The gen 1 stocks felt like you were trying to hold onto a beer wrapped around a 2X4.
The Boyd's Blaster stocks were very popular replacements with the thumbhole pistol grip.
The only slight problem with these stocks on a Marauder, is that the comb is not quite high enough to get a good cheek weld.
It's perfectly useable the way it is, (and 500% better than the factory stock), but it could use a accessory riser (or adjustable comb) to be absolutely perfect.
It IS a Pretty heavy stock, and not something you want to haul around on a 30 mile hike/hunt, but it makes a great bench shooter or short hikes/hunting stock.
Thanks for asking and Thanks for the compliment.
I like the mag holder so far, and will see how it holds up to some shooting sessions soon.
Cheers !

Ebay listing is back up with marauder holders.

I don't get it about Ebay. They limited sales the first time,then again, and then finally my wife had to call again. I just don't get that end of the selling part.
I almost had the wife buying a refurbished Gauntlet last night. SO SO close ;D ;D ;D. All I could think about today was all the cool things I can do for it on the cheap ( there is a lot-no kidding ).
The good news is that the Prod MAG holder will be on Ebay very soon. I truly hope these help my quest in going further into this rabbit hole of designing/building and selling crazy parts for our guns.
I talked with my wife about a website instead of Ebay. Both of us do not know how to do this. If things keep going the way they are, I am gonna need some help from one of you website builders.
By the end of this year,
I would love to be a GTA vendor with great products for our family. That is my goal...

Moved this thread to Custom Airgun Parts Gate. Good stuff, I have seen it on eBay. Before I saw this thread.

Benjamin Marauder .177/.22/.25 cal Dual Mag Clip (DoveTail Scope Mount Only!) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Benjamin-Marauder-177-22-25-cal-Dual-Mag-Clip-DoveTail-Scope-Mount-Only/163156121269?hash=item25fcdcd6b5%3Am%3Amtlb9UWOBMic7riuWjd3q6w&var=462319215676&_sacat=0&_nkw=benjamin+marauder+rifle+mag+holder&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0/)
This is the new link. I also fixed the previous two I posted. Ironically with the eBay issues, those wound up pointing to a single shot tray for the Marauders from some other seller.

Placed my order 8)

I wonder how many of these would fit on an Mrod? I have a MDRL Bull Pup stock so I can probably fit about three by the looks of it. But i also wonder would it interfere with my cheek weld? Great design by the way. :o ;D 8)

I have had mine for a very long time , but haven't had time to test it out ... I will do this now ... ok look for my Marauder then mount it , it has been way too long !
