Working on a magazine holder for the Mrods

[Hayfoot]

I can 100% sympathize.  Will make sure you get absolutely glowing review on ebay from me!

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.

[Hayfoot]

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?

Quick Link:  Benjamin Marauder .177/.22/.25 cal Dual Mag Clip (DoveTail Scope Mount Only!)

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.

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..... 

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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

[mackeral5]

Ordered 1.  Thank you for offering these at such a low price.  I wish you success in this endeavor.

[Gertrude]

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

[Volvonium]

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?

[kludger]

Nice solution and great price, ordered 1 too.

[shorty]

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! 

[triggertreat]

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.
