    Perfect timing, I have just acquired three very nice original .177 goldstars but no mags, I have done some research on previous threads but there seems to be some confusion (to me anyway) whether or not the new type mags fit and I can say that having bought a new blue .177 mag yesterday that they do not
    Looking forward to see where this thread goes regarding altering / adapting the mag, like the other guys I would rather mod the mag rather than the rifle

    Hi
    The mag goes in and appears to fit like it should but the pellet hole doesn't line up, without forcing it I have gently pushed the underlever up a couple of times and after removing the mag it appears to have marked it a couple of mm out of line if this makes sense

    Oops thats unfortunate is it repairable? I didn't force the underlever up to hard it was just enough to see where the locating pin was catching the mag and its just enough not to put the pellet into the barrel, looks like I'll have to scrap the rifles if i cant find mags

    It's repairable yes.
