    Skan Speedstar R32 .177 Magazine dimensions

    Hello, my friend recently acquired a Skan Speedstar R32 without a magazine.
    I've heard that these magazines are especially hard to find and I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to measure their magazine so I can machine one.
    At least he'll be able to shoot the thing then.

    Thanks in advance!

    Worth asking Skan, but I'm sure I did hear some time ago, that .177 mags were no longer available?

    I still have one of yours, Chris!

    Wesley - Hi and welcome to the BBS.

    As you can see, it's not the easiest thing to measure accurately!

    Hello, and thanks!

    That magazine looks a bit different from the ones I've seen on the net.
    Those seem to have normal through holes on the outer 2 peripheries, in stead of the holes with the top cut off.
    Are those two bands in the recess rubber rings to keep the pellets in?

    More photos would probably help as well as I can try to reconstruct the magazine on the air rifle.

    Thanks!

    It's the extra .177 mag I had from you Chris, the one that's never been used... (it's an old picture, so I'd better check I photographed the right one).

    I would sell the .177 mag, as I don't have the .177 Skan anymore.

    No worries, I'll check through my box of 'Skan stuff', and take some new photos and measurements for you.

    Yes they are rubber bands. As recommended by Mike Childs (Skan):

    Probe seals:
    .22 BS004
    .177 BS003

    Bottle seal BS117

    1" mag bands, aka size 8
