Venomac .22

[ashf9999]

I recently obtained a Goldstar with one original mag, I bought a new type red mag and I can't get it to sit properly in the action, the original mag will slide in as far as it will go and the sliding mag retainer slides into the mag and all is fine, the newer mag fits in but you have to pull it out slightly to get the mag retainer to locate but then the pellet seating prob hits the mag, so doesn't work would have thought the Venomsc mag would be the same as a standard BSA mag.

Yes to use the new style mag you need to remove the cross pin that retains the indexing pin on the under lever and take it out. The mag will then index itself in the same fashion as on, say, an R10. Odd - Mine (all .22) fit fine without clashing with the pellet probe.

Just checked - mine fit ok - this includes both the all metal BSA mags, from when the R10 first came out, and the later mostly plastic ones.
