BSA Goldstar under lever modification.

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

Hi, don't push it up anymore I've broken my indexing pin off this weekend !

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.

I was looking for a nice .177 Goldstar as when they're working they are great. Should of just stuck with my one original Mag .

Yes they are good guns i just hope i can find some suitable mags so that I can use them again, good luck with yours 👍

On my .22 Goldstar the first generation new mag went in but would not operate.

When removed there was a mark on the bottom of the mag where the index pin hit it.

I removed a small piece of the plastic where the mark was and it worked really well!

I sold the gun and the mag is still working.

I don’t know if the latest new mags will work.

I will look through my BSA mags today and see if I can reach any further conclusions.

I also removed the index lever from my Stalker S10 and that works with the new mags.

Ive found a mag I modified and compared it to the latest BSA mag.

I cant see any reason why you cant take a chip out of the new one to allow it to operate.

I would have a go as you have 3 rifles to save!
