Just another wee question you may be able to answer, was there anything special about the bsa gold star venomac?

Venomac was born from Venom Arms.1995 to 1998. The BSA would have a Stage 1 tune I'm guessing. As the magazine I haven't a clue I'm sorry to say but I dare say other members with a far greater knowledge than myself on BSA will be along soon to help. Mach 1.5

Any reason Venomac wouldn’t have used a standard BSA magazine?

Any reason Venomac wouldn’t have used a standard BSA magazine?

Can’t see why they wouldn’t have. Assuming it is the standard format and still has the magazine indexing pin fitted to the under lever, the options are (as discussed on this and other forums):

1) Remove the indexing pin (itself secured by a cross pin - make sure you retain them) and use the current format red BSA .22 mag, or
2) Retain the pin and find an original mag (good luck with that), or drill a new mag so the pin doesn’t clash, or
3) Buy one from Pneumatic Ballistics with the cutout https://www.pneumaticballistics.com/...shot-22-double

Remember with options 2 or 3 you have to keep the rifle horizontal on cocking so the pellets don’t either drop back into the action or just jam part way out the mag, making it a so-n-so to remove. Also remember you have to cock completely in one swift movement until the mag indexes, or else it will jam. Even though the original mags had (2) o-rings, the pellets would still slide back. The o-rings were thinner than current format and didn’t do a great job securing the pellets.

I have 3 (factory standard) Goldstar underlevers at the moment, operating on each of the above methods (inc original mags)…
