Any of you guys with the 3D printers able to come up with something for the MK3?
I have a mag for the rifle, but would much prefer a single shot tray if possible.
Keep saying I am going to get a printer, but I honestly need a new hobby like I need a hole in my head.

What caliber? They're pricey, but why not get one from Rowan Engineering in the UK? They spring open on their own to make loading easier, and are ambidextrous:

I know that's a Mk4 in the vid, but they're made for Mk3's too. Here's a link:

Be aware that SS loaders where pellet is within a tube such as the Rowan swing gate WILL SHOOT the pellet rearward if and when you mistakenly discharge with the bolt open.
when this happens the pellet will go past the probe and end up back in the cocking mechanics at the rear of receiver. Disassembly will be required to remove it !!
This is a very real issue that effects MK3 / MK4 / AirWolf / AirRanger and any other "Bolt cocking" Daystates.
Open tray SS adapters don't have this issue.

Actually just had a pellet get stuck in the loading mech some how.
Would like one of the metal ones that would have came with the rifle originally, but that is long gone. A simply tray would be nice and simple. I have found one on thinaverse, so now I need to bug the guys at work and see if they can't make me one. We do have an SLA printer at my shop and I may be able to get it printed on that. Though I have zero idea on how to use the darn thing

They will do it with a MAG as well sending a pellet REARWARD if handle is left out pulled back.
Those OEM trays from in the days of these rifles ( Models I mentioned above ) all interchange so they can't be that hard to find ???
I own a Mk 3 and a Wolf, so know of what i speak ;)

I had an mk4 and it was the metal tray. The new ones are plastic and seem cheaper.
Will wait till payday before I buy anything, but bugging guys I work with to see if they can print anything

Yes those trays from the day ... were aluminum, pin indexed with bottom magnets sticking to the two screw heads.

Yup I miss those.
Always been a fan of wood and metal. Plastic in weak and tends to break, espically when needed the most.
