Is AOA the only place to purchase EVOL magazines or are there any other recommended outlets to procure them?

Best Place to Purchase AAA EVOL .22 Mags
- Thread starter PelletJunkie
- Start date
I purchased an extra one from AoA, just to have. I also purchased 3 of the 3-D printed ones from CARM. Much less expensive and they work great in my .22 mini. Loading them is slightly different. Very happy with them.

Rafr,
You ordered them from overseas? What is different about the loading process, I looked on the site and I didn't see an explanation?
Thanks -PJ

I also purchased a factory version magazine (along with the barrel loosening tool) from Airguns of Arizona.
I'm not a fan of the probe o-ring riding against the rough interior surface of the magazine.

I'm also curious about the different loading process.
In regards to the OP's question, I know Baker Airguns and High Pressure Pneumatics in Michigan also sell AAA products.

Yes, I ordered from overseas. Croatia, I believe. Not expensive shipping, but takes a few weeks.
Loading process- All pellets loaded forward facing. Load one pellet then rotate to next pellet, etc. No need to pre-wind the magazine. They fit very well and use the ball bearing detent (like the AAA mag) to hold in the rifle.

Are the Carm mags the same height as the originals? I think I'm gonna throw one in the cart as I'm gonna order one for my Notos but want to make sure they aren't taller as I have my scope very close to the original ones.

I ordered 2 carm mags for my minI after my factory magazine indexing problems. Carm has done good by me with all the mags I’ve bought from them for many different rifles. Can’t wait to try them out, and hopefully stop single loading my mini!

I ordered 2 and they both work really well. They load differently that the OEM magazines so be aware of that.

Yes thanks, I’m aware. I’m pretty sure all of carm mags load the same way. Super simple, and difficult to screw up. Lol.

Ive got 4 factory evol magazines and I love the 3 that work but have 1 that doesnt and it totally could have turned into a much bigger mess if I didn't identify the problem sooner. I am curious to hear how the CARM versions work, have had CARM in the past on other rifles and they were awesome.

Do you mean whether the CARM mags work well or the difference in the loading procedure to the AAA OEM magazines?
The two that I have have been flawless with about 300 pellets through both. What is yet to be determined is how long they will last. Perhaps other members with the CARM Evol msgs can provide their "mileage" with their mags.
The one funny thing was when I was first testing the mags I thought I was having feeding issues as I wasn't seeing new shots on target. What I came to realize was that the Evol was so accurate that it was sending all pellets through the same hole. What a great problem to have.

So far they have worked well but only time will tell for how long they will last.
I completely agree with you regarding the Evol - it is my favorite setup.
