Anyone making Taipan Veteran magazine holders?
- Thread starter h2okenny

Bizill is still making and selling them. I purchased a few for my Veteran when I picked it up a few months back. I'll PM you his email address.

If someone can provide specs I can probably draw one in CAD. Don't really know exactly what we're looking at but in the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson how hard could it be? Obviously not the first choice if somebody's making them and selling them, but if nobody else is I can try and lend a hand.

Hey Guys,
I just made myself some mag holders, taking from Bizill really good idea. I also made a small Cheek piece to limit the really cold block in 20 degree weather.
If Bizill doesn't sell any I can. I can also provide the CAD file.
PM me.

Here they are.
I hope that helps. The color is black for all the parts unless you want different color. I just put red and blue, so you can see more details then on a black view.

Cheek piece. The long piece is held with earth magnets to the 2 block screws. the front one clips around the barrel, so it extend it a bit.

Here's my feeble attempt at a homemade mag holder.
Got this idea last night. At first I planned to order a acetal bar and 1/4" rod but decided to try this first since I already had everything but the aluminum bar. Nothing fancy but it's something anyone can make with basic tools. Thought I'd share in case anyone was interested in making one.
Made from 1/8" X 1" aluminum and 1/4" bolts. Only thing I had to buy was the aluminum plate, unfortunately all Lowes had was a 36" long piece.
Drilled and tapped the plate, cut the heads off the bolts and the excess threads on the backside of the plate, notched the studs to keep the magazine from sliding off. Fastened with 3M strip adhesive. I had planned to paint it but happened to think about the carbon fiber wrap and thought I'd give it a shot. Still might paint it later. Seems to work well, although I did grind the notches on the studs a little to deep.

I like the idea, but you loose 2 pellets per mag with your system.
I do like the 4 mags option

Yeah, that is the down side. I think one stud will probably hold with a smaller notch, yours are definitely more practical.

How much for one mag holder and cheek piece?

Can you make the front piece without the clips, i think the earth magnets will work better, can you take a few pictures of the cheek piece on the gun from different angles? thanks!

Hey all,
I will be back home tonight. I will be taking photos of the gun with the mag holders and the cheek piece.
I have tried the magnets on the front one and it doesn't have much bite so far. I am waiting for stronger magnets and test. The clip works really well though. Pics to come tonight.
