Did not care the magazines that came with rifle . Did an internet search and came up with a company called Maplewood Custom Products. Claimed their magazine was a much better product than AEA provided. Took a chance and ordered one. Magazine arrived in reasonable time. Magazine holds 12, .25 pellets and slugs, extremely easy to load and has an indicator informing you when you have 3 or less rounds. I have shot a few hundred pellets and slugs with this magazine and is has performed flawlessly. They truly do make a superb magazine. I now own two of their magazines. I’m not sponsored in any way by them, just thought I would tell you about their performance.
