As of today, Darko, the owner of CARM mags out of Croatia, isn’t sure if his products will make it to the USA via mail system Due to the tariffs situation.
He is shipping me a .25 Blackwolf SSL but we are uncertain if it will make it through the system. We shall see.
i did receive some products from Maple out of Canada today.
pictures below are from CARM.

My order room Maple was delayed about a week and also shipped out today. Postal deliveries from other countries to the USA are pretty much at a halt.

They have a VERY limited selection and inventory

Yes, he is relatively new to the game but, he will accept the challenge to make mags for what ever you need. He just needs a sample mag and a couple days. I have done this a few times. His mags are as good if not better than any aftermarket mags you can get. Great guy to work with.
In my opinion, we need to support and encourage American made products related to our sport/hobby.

Do you think they could use a rotary mag to make a single shot mag? If so, I would be willing to send him a Blackwolf rotor mag.

I would hardly call 26 options VERY limited.

But like Orion he can only make magazines for rifles that he has on hand so that they are made to fit perfectly.

Not so much... I have sent him mags and he has reversed engineered them in a day and sent them back to me for testing. They worked flawlessly on the first attempt. That said, some of the more difficult designs might require him to have the gun on hand. There are also mags that simply cannot not be 3D printed due to design. I know he was unsuccessful trying to make the Urban .22 mag without the gun. But of the 5+mags I have had him design and make, that was the only one that he wanted me to send the gun for. I chose not to chance shipping the gun.

I have sent him a few guns to make magazines for and it's always been just fine. I understand not wanting to ship out the gun though.

Yep, it really depends on the gun and mag design.
BTW... he's a one man show but he's very passionate about what he is doing. I exchanged e-mails with him the other day and he was excited to report that he has passed the 1000 mag produced milestone.

I sure hope it gets to you without issues.
Darko is a fine vendor and does not deserve the BS runaround this tariff fiasco is giving him
It is playing with his livelihood, as it is with vendors around the world

just my 2 sents

Isn't it great that today we have so many choices for replacement mags. Carm, Orion, Maple, Big Air Precision & Spike_9. Probably a few I've missed, but when I started in 2019, if you got bad mags all you could do was get more bad mags from the manufacture that sent you the bad stuff to begin with! Same goes with Compressors.

What percentage of all Airguns and Airgun products are made in the USA - less than 5%?
Our hobbies are not looking good at the moment because to create a production pipeline with well trained people takes “years” to establish. meanwhile 🤦‍♂️
