N/A QD Fox magazines: User opinions

[igolfat8]

I wasn't going to address the "similar" design of Fox mags to Orion. I think it is no coincidence, and I belive Orion has done a ton of work providing original designs. You shouldn't need to spend a lot of time and money protecting your own work. As airgun enthusiasts we should respect each other's work.

They may look the same but they certainly do not load the same. Orion mags, that I own for my Prophet are not easy to load and the internal disc must be rotated precisely to reveal each hole to insert a pellet through the hole in the outer plate. While my AGT (FOX) mags have a removable top cover, held in place by magnets. Once the outer ver has been removed the mag internal wheel is rotated until it stops, drop a pellet in to hole to hold it in place, then fill all the other holes easily. I prefer the Fox mags to the OEM AGT mags, for ease of loading and they function flawless.

Huh? This is my Orion AGT mag. Removable top and it doesn't jam like OEM and Eagle Vision mags in my U3.

Here’s my story. I was pumped after I bought my RTI Prophet 3 .30, so I jump on bay and find QD Fox mags has a P3 12 round mag, shows a picture of the mag installed with the cheek piece. My vision isn’t great and I didn’t study the picks, I just ordered them. When I received them, there was no way it will work with the cheek piece in a usable position for any human. I told the owner he should put an a note on the pictures that modification is required to use the cheek piece. He replied I should have read the description at the bottom of the page before I ordered.
I’ve ordered mags from him before, I thought I could believe the pics. The mag he sells for the RTI P3 is the same mag he sells for the P1 and P2 which I think is pretty sneaky/slimy pos behavior. He kinda gave an arrogant you too stupid to read fine print. I told if you don’t change it I will give 0 stars. I informed him Orion sell the same mag but makes it clear to order a smaller mag for the P3 with the cheek piece. I told him I don’t want my money back, just change it. He said it request by the community and he wouldn’t change it. So 0 stars. I ended up getting put on a call list that the junk call app couldn't stop it. I’ll be buying Orions now. F QD Fox

I’m not suprised he copied Orions mags He’s a thief. Same way china built it military, stolen tech.

The RTI magazine was the first magazine I designed, at some point I introduced magnetic lid, way before QD even started selling, then I updated all my designs to use magnetic lids, then QD started selling.

You must have a very old version of my magazines. I'm thrilled it still works.

Yes, my mags (yours) are still working fine. Sorry Fox is ripping you off Erlis. I wasn’t aware of your changes or of him stealing your design.

FWIW, I bought 6 QD Fox magazines for my RAW probably about a year ago on eBay, just tried to use them for the first time yesterday and they don’t fit.
I have a pre AirForce RAW, not sure if I ordered wrong mags or if it’s glitch in production, probably past the window of returning them. They look decent though.

edit: just measured stock mags are 15mm and qd mags are 17mm. Wondering if anyone makes the 15mm aftermarket mags in .30, Maple and Stud do not, they are both 17mm ones for sale
