Daystate Magazine Fit

[yo_eddy]

I recently purchased a Daystate magazine for use in my .177 Airwolf MVT. The magazine will not sit flush in the receiver. It pops back out about 1 mm or so and will not advance. It will sit correctly and cycle if pressure is applied to keep it in place.

It looks like the magnet might be pulling it back towards the barrel and causing the misalignment. Is there a way to remove the magnet and put it in the other hole? This might pull it the other way so it rests against the pin and provides the right alignment.

I can't find the original magazine that came with the gun to see what might be different. It was likely put in a "safe" place that I now can't remember. Anything else that might explain why the magazine won't stay in place?

The magnet and small pin should be on the left side of the magazine as it faces forward when inserting it. If not, you may have to change the location. Not sure how to, but this is the way the magazines om my Air Wolf are configured. Hope this helps!

Thanks. That's what I figured, went online to look at some pics and most were like that. Mine is pin left, magnet right. I may see if I can return it for one in the correct orientation

The only time I use the magazine is when hunting. Rowan makes a single shot adapter that works great. When you pull on the bolt after a shot it automatically opens. Put a pellet in, close and shoot. A lot faster than loading the magazines and less chance of the pellet getting damaged going into the barrel.
