The tolerances are too big. Put a slug or pellet in and close the lid. Is the projectile centered? No?

This causes the probe to catch number 2 and flip it on its side. Then remove the mag open it up and fix it. 2 shots later same thing, if you're the company on the leading edge this NEEDS to be fixed.

Ive fixed my own and even little old me figured out the problem. The inner ring is too big around causing slop. This slop allows either them falling on their sides or the slug to be too far to the right and the probe to contact 2 slugs.

Heres your version of the .30. See the problem? Even with pellets.

For what these cost they need to be fixed, this is recall worthy IMO and I'm a big fan but this needs to be addressed asap.

I used Nathan’s modifications and the magazine works perfectly now. Shouldn’t have to go through the hassle though.

WELL...don't be so secretive what ARE...Nathans modifications ?

I tried two brands of "printed" magazines, both have the same problem.

Both have a second problem that it seems that no ones caught...

If you have a gun with the sealing o-ring...on the probe itself (rather than in the barrel), this means that the o-ring has to slide its way through the rough surface of the printed, or...rough...surface, thereby decreasing the o-rings life span.

So yeah, I have two brands of magazines, just sitting, because I'm not going to screw up the o-ring, and have an off center pellet with one magazine, or just an offset pellets using the other brand magazine.

I respect the guys for trying, but the last 20% of the details...were missed in both instances.

It's linked in the first post, this is before Orion made his inserts which I've had good luck with. I don't have any guns with an oring on the probe but yeah magazine issues are frustrating no doubt.
