Yep I've got one, it is quite a clever design, I love that you can add a couple of pellets so easy when you get down to the last one or two.
Only put 100 or so through it, but so far it's been flawless, I think I prefer it to the original design.
Looks to be a good design 👍
Well made too
yes he said he had sent a few out with good feed back ime impressed up to yet.

Where can I purchase one? I'm using the cheap 3d mags that can be a pain at times.
i got 2 last week and they work great kev ;)

don't think he is selling them yet m8,he wants to be confident that they are ok first,but can ask him

He's a member on the R7OC & offered them for test & then cheap to members.
I think they did pop up on the bay, but one member reported an issue so he stopped selling immediately.
I think I've just replicated the issue, as "finger trouble" closing the bolt, which can cause an attempted double load,
but normal correct positive closing the bolt & mine is excellent.
The difference is only the centre pellet carrier rotates, both frame & clear cover are fixed.
I have one . Must of had 600 shots with it and it works brilliant. Very smooth cycling very happy with it .
Why is it so great does it have features that the others mags do not have.
I have Carm magazines in .20, .22, and .25 all work fine and are easier to load than the originals mags.
yes I have the carm mags to and like you say they are great,but you now have to do a minimum order of around £150 to have them sent to the UK.

I've never used a Carm mag, but on these only the centre rotates, there's a big yellow dot that lines up with the white circle when empty, which is very obvious in use, the shape prevents pellets dropping straight through during loading, you can quickly add pellets as you shoot & there are multiple areas to grip & turn the rotor.

Ok that sucks, I live in the Netherlands (not Holland) so no minimum order.

I have two Carm magazines which were great until last week when the O ring went very stiff. This caused the pellet skirt to catch the O ring and pull it into the hole with the pellet, effectively jamming the pellet half way through the hole into the breech. I had to take the barrel off to push it back again.
I've ordered new O rings to see how it goes. Del Darko did tell me the size when I messaged him though.

I stripped mine down a d slightly lubed the orings with moly 33.should make them last longer with a bit if luck.

Might take a punt at one of these
I have seen these also at KevG this week they are made very well and feel very smooth only time will tell if they stand the test of time.
Regards kev.
SMW engineering on eBay. I have had many bits from him in the past and always good quality. He has now got Rapid mags with 16 shot capacity. Anyone tried these if not I am about to buy.
I've got a few mags by SMW, they are excellent.
Where as I really don't like the SMW, the new design by "the Grid" are far superior.
Got a smw not keen on it pellets drop out ... got a 3d printed one of ebay but not the best . But the grind mags are brilliant very smooth and well made
Just received mag from the Grid man, quality.👍👍👍.
Looks a good design, might have to pick 1 up. Hopefully he starts doing them in the other calibres soon

Amendment. It wasn't the O ring. I stripped the mag down and found that the little mouldings had broken off that the O ring sits on and the ring was dropping into the pellet holes. It's scrap.
There are no more on the bay for these. So where else are there quality mags for sale. The watchword here is build quality!
I've got one from TheGrid, nicely made mag

There will be a new batch of .22 added to eBay next week.
Got it, will keep an eye out thank you.
