That is an extremely clever looking concept, which might do less skirt damage than the "conventional" designs. I don't run an Impact, but I do have a laser and could zip out some transparent faceplates if you go into production.
Thanks STO, i don't know where this will end but at the moment i don't plan "serious" production. Everything began few months ago when i got my first PCP air rifle , Artemis P15. It is really great rifle but the magazines are rubbish, they produce lot of flyers. Being as i am, i could not stand still and took it on the table and started designing from zero. It is not something new, such magazines exist already but i really don't understand this tendention of air rifle producers to "back load" first pellet. I mean, some of them invest lot of money in rifle designs, even put some electronics in it (which i don't like) and in the end they give you the magazine you throw in the bottom of a drawer.While testing i found a group of great people on the FB having same problems with their P15. I solved my flyers in .22 caliber and made loading much easier. Most demanding pellet for transfer through magazine to loading chamber is .177 because of his thin pellet skirt and just today i got results from first few testers, imagine NO FLYERS and of course they were all happy to eliminate backward loading which can be pretty fussy in .177 caliber. How i came to FX Impact? Well i want that beauty for long time and in the end i will buy it so i wnted to be prepared
. Basic principle of magazine design is the same, there should not be skirt damaging in either caliber (.177 and .22) and this little blocking notch is something that just blinked me in the moment of inspiration (when you are thinking about challenges subconsciously such thing happens
) It is hard to design and check functionality without rifle in your hands, now i have to wait for 15 days to check if everything seats in the pace as it should. These are minor problems to solve (add 10th of mm here or there) but i won't print 22 version until i get confirmation that the dimensions are OK. I have a solution for indexing numbers , simple with positioned sticker on the back of the loading wheel and small window in the magazine cover.I made a single pellet loader for P15 which works great (you can see it in some of my latest videos on my You Tube channel) and i would like to make such one for Impact but for that i really need rifle in my hands. what are my plans? If everything goes well i will try to sell these magazines to the people at the shooting forums because they are best judges and testers . About price, i don't know, is the half price of the original one OK (It is time consuming to fit everything and clean prints and after that checking functionality few times) . Maybe even get few color combinations, what do you think?
Uh, i don't remember last time i made such a long post
That's looks like a good magazine! I don't have an impact but somebody else will probably respond to your call
