It’s kinda tricky to do but not bad. It uses the guide rod to turn a threaded sleeve in the plug. And yes, that plug is an adjustment. Just don’t go so far the spring guide comes out of its spot. DaveI have messed with redesigning this mag. Loctite will do fine for the center screw in the original mags I have seen. they all have a brass insert the center cover screw goes into.the attached pics are for the 30 cal I believe. and the grey are my mags. the black is factory and shows brass insert in center.A 3d printed collar would extend the range of that “power wheel” as far as one might want. Project for tomorrow along with a single shot tray. Those mags are a hassle. I have a little lube on the pellets I just cast and the magazine keeps slipping out of my fingers and launching across the room. It seems like a solid mechanism just hard to keep it in place at first. Some little grip or texture on the edge of the lucite piece would helpOn one of my two magazines the allen screw that hold the clear face on rotates along with the clear face when it is rotated so it tightens up as you insert more pellets. Guess I need a little Loctite for that particular screwHad some arts and crafts time and cast a handful the slugs pictured (96 gr).Locktite (and all superglues) attack and destroy plastic. You can't locktite that screw unless you want the mag to crumble to pieces.

Is this a bottle for one of their other guns, or better yet can you provide a link? Thanks Found this:https://foxairpower.com/products/carbon-fiber-bottle-adapter-for-aea-hp-modelsIt is out of stock
I shot my first ground hog of the year a couple days ago with my AEA Challenger LS .22 using my 24.4grain cup point slugs@218 diameter like they drop from the mold.
I sighted in my AEA 45 cal HP Max in yesterday and I will probably be back in the woods with it Tuesday by the looks of it, it's going to be very warm too so watch out for a 457 slug you chippers. I honestly think I could do a head shot on a red squirrel with it too.
It would be interesting to see if a 244 grain slug would expand on a chipper.
Gut feeling, the chipper would be doing all the expanding!
I’d have a hard time enjoying myself taking shots at $1.20 a pop regardless of if I could afford it or not. Casting really sets you free you’re like a cigarette addict otherwise.
