Description
.177 SELF INDEXING MAGAZINE
This self-indexing magazine is the new gate-loading type, introduced in 2020 for all existing Daystate PCP models. Its design is backward compatible with every contemporary Daystate model, including X2, MK3, Huntsman, MK4, Air Wolf, Air Ranger (but not the Daystate PH6). However, please see the important information in the ‘Fitting’ section below.
This listing is for a .177” / 4.5mm SI Magazine.
FEATURES
The new magazine has an all-metal construction. It features a flip-open gate (cover plate) that makes loading pellets into the drum’s chambers quick and easy. The magazine stays in the correct position when closed with a small magnet, which improves pellet-to-breech feed. This ensures unrivalled levels of accuracy, often a fault with magazine-fed air rifles. So the new Daystate Self Indexing magazine suitable for both hunting and target use.
This latest design also offers a higher shot-count than the legacy magazine – 8- to 13-shot – depending on caliber.
CALIBER AND CAPACITY
.177″ / 4.5mm : 13-shot capacity (this listing)
.22″ / 5.5mm : 11-shot capacity (available here)
.25″ / 6.35mm : 10-shot capacity (available here)
.30 / 7.62mm : 8-shot capacity (available here)
FITTING – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Although designed to be backward compatible, the new magazine must be individually set-up to work with specific models. This is done at the factory. Also, the Daystate Alpha and Delta Wolf air rifles use a magazine with a slightly different specification.
* It is therefore essential that you manually state which specific Daystate PCP model the magazine is to be used with in the box when ordering.
NOTES:
- The profile of the new Self Indexing Magazine is 2mm higher than the legacy magazine when fitted into the breech. You should therefore check that it will fit under the rifle’s existing scope, and you may require higher scope mounts to accommodate the SI Mag.
- The new SI Magazine inserts/extracts from the right side of the breech only. It cannot be configured for left-hand-side loading.
