Working on a magazine holder for the Mrods

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.

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!

[shorty]

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.

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.
If I mess up her Ebay feedback thing, I will never hear the end of it.

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.

[Scotchmo]

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.

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.

[triggertreat]

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.

[Machinist]

I read some time ago that Crosman sold 25,000 Mrods.  Maybe someone has better, more current data?

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.

Those look cool!

Wow!  Thanks Tim you are the man.  Whatever it's called it is the Atomic beam that I have.  I was using Tac as in tactical light lol.

I haven’t received it yet but it should fit unless my scope isn’t high enough. I’ll let you all know as soon as it arrives in the mail.

[aceflier]

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.

[Hayfoot]

Wow... what a great idea. Thanks for developing this Tim!  just sent off for mine today.
Cheers pal,
Mike

[shorty]

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.

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.....
