FX Wildcat magazine holders

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Thanks for doing a comparo video, Tom :)

Some of the reasons I designed my own Magholders instead of using what was already out there:
  • To keep the mags closer to the gun's center of gravity instead of rearward in the stock.
  • To leave the holes in the stock open because I use them to handle the gun (Some people use the holes to mount slings)
  • To be able to load pellets into the mags with one hand ( the mags will spin and you can load them while mounted )
  • To take advantage of the indestructibility of CNC machined billet. 3D printing has a place in rapid prototyping but very limited long-term durability.
  • To produce an accessory of the highest quality, fit and finish worthy of mounting on a $1400 rifle.
  • Last but not least because they look cool mounted there.
It has been a pleasure interacting with dozens of Wildcat owners here on AGN :)

+1 Tomcat :yes:

ALL of the reasons you mentioned are very good and I'm glad you took this project on and made these available to all of us! 
I quoted two of your reasons above...
I hadn't thought of loading them while in the mag holders! Makes perfect sense. 
One of the reasons I really liked your design was that it was NOT 3D printed. The 3D tech is really great but, the plastic that is used seems brittle to me. I like the look and feel of the Delrin plastic much more.
