Description
Indexing Pin Blanking Plug
An Indexing Pin Blanking Plug is needed on the Daystate Red Wolf, Wolverine, Pulsar and Renegade PCP air rifles for magazine conversion. When upgrading the Daystate legacy 10-shot rotary mag to the new style, gate-loading self-indexing magazine, you must replace the rifle’s indexer pin with a dummy plug.
Different systems
For the old style magazine, the factory-fitted indexing pin moves up during the firing cycle to engage with the magazine pawl. The new style, self-indexing magazine uses a different indexing system, with no pawl. Running a new style magazine in a Daystate Red Wolf, Wolverine, Pulsar or Renegade with the indexing pin still fitted may damage the rifle and/or the mag.
How to tell what is fitted
The moveable indexing pin is silver in colour. The dummy Indexing Pin Blanking Plug has a bronze appearance (see image).
Fitting
It is easy to convert the rifle to accept the new style Daystate gate-loading, self-indexing magazine system. Only a hex tool is required and no specialist gunsmithing skills. However, you may not feel confident to do this conversion. So, you should then take the rifle to your local authorized Daystate Service Center.
Conversion
Remove the two hex bolts and lift the cover plate from the breech bay. Replace the existing O-ring, spring and indexing pin with the new O-ring and Blanking Plug. Then replace the cover plate. Effectively, the conversion removes the need of the indexing pin, its dedicated spring and O-ring.
Important
Warning: In some instances, converting to the new pawl-less self-indexing Daystate magazine can increase the power of your rifle. After upgrading the magazine, you should always check the rifle’s power to ensure it complies with any prevailing legislation.
