Besides the magazine, I would like to know if anyone having this gun have BBs rolling out the barrel when shooting downward or putting the barrel pointing down after the first shot.
Thank you.
Thank you.

What brand of BBs are you using and does it do this with other brands of BBs that you tried? I would think common sense wise from an engineering standpoint there should be some sort of a magnetic device to keep the BBs from rolling out of the barrel while shooting at a downward angle.

I only use Umarex stell BB and Hornady Black Diamond. I agree with you, but Air Venturi is not clear about this issue. It because I am trying to find someone to try.

Well you aren't the only one and it may be magazine and faulty design engineering related. Reviews show many magazine issues and several inquirys on pellets rolling out of the barrel when tipped down with no reply so you arent the only one. I would contact the dealer for warranty if within the 90 day window or return and get a less problematic gun if possible. The bolt must be deliberately racked hard open and forced slammed shut manually to avoid loading 2 BBs that gives you that BB rolling out of the barrel along with faulty magazine that's a double whammy. Sad to say... This is ONLY ONE OF THE MANY COMPLAINTS.

Thanks Odoyle, I didn't have a double BB so far, the thing is you can't lower the barrel when it is loaded. By the way, those reviews are mine, from Pyramyd Air.
The new magazine received a couple of days ago, now after cleaning and lubricating the threads and also putting and taking the screw many times, it is so far performing well and I get 4 magazines of 14 rounds per CO2. But, the issue of BBs rolling out the barrel still on. You have to keep the rifle horizontally or pointing up.

ONLY IF ITS NOT RETURNABLE AND OUTA WARRANTY...
IF the piece that holds the BB or touches the BB is METAL you can TRY to get it magnetized it by rubbing it with a good strong magnet just to see. Maybe from a magnetic pickup tool preferably one with a small head from somewhere like NAPA or cheap online.
I Wonder if you epoxy or JB Weld a magnet onto the top of the bolt carrier (BB carrier) if it may help? If it doesn't go flying when the bolt slams back and fourth.
SECOND THOUGHT!
You can try and tape a magnet somewhere onto the barrel closest to the area that feeds the BB (breech area) that's STATIONARY (does not move when gun cycles) to see if that prevents BBs from rolling out when pointed down.

I am thinking to glue those flexible magnets on the side near the chamber, to see if that material (alloy) will work. Waiting for the arrival.
It seems the only feasible solution. Thanks Odoyle.

I have installed (glued) two flexible magnets on the small area possible and it didn't work. I think it is because of the type of metal, it is not steel only.
The next step would be to disassemble the top stuck and find a way to wrap it around the barrel near the chamber, if possible. But this will wait.
