Westley Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Has anyone dismantled a Daystate 'nylon' 10 shot .177 calibre magazine ? I have 3 for my X2 but one has started sticking. I can see what looks to be a lead shaving inside the mag. I have tried various ways to dislodge it but all without success. The only way that I can see is to dismantle the thing. There is obviously a spring inside which creates the tension to turn the mag when shooting. I am therefore reluctant to remove the front of the mag unless I know how to stop the spring from flying off. Any assistance or anyone who can strip and clean the mag, would be appreciated.

evo Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 cheers pete,, westley, rather than me spend 20 mins typing to tell you how to do it , the best thing to do is watch this video,, it is pretty simple but be very careful because there is a tiny spring that goes between the mag housing and the index pin good luck and if you need any help give me a pm and I,ll go through it with you,, its simple once you know how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmyy2u7qSK4&feature=player_detailpage watch the link above atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I admit to trying to strip one of said Beasties-after nearly losing an Eye to a Tiny, yet remarkably "Twangy" spring, the expletives that resounded in the Dining room resulted in a very lonely sex life for many days.

Ttfjlc Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Gentlemen, Can I thank you all for your responses. Once again, the power of PW comes good ! Evo has 'the power' alright, I'm certain he has donated all his organs for good causes and had them replaced with Daystate parts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hey, if I can't get this bloody thing back together, I could be knocking on his door ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Knowing evo he has most likely kept a firm grip on his favourite organ . But it's nice to see that he has seen the light and that his gun list is beginning to look like an advert for AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Daystate have held an emergency board meeting now their favourite customer has had to look elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though I look forward to seeing the new rifle, what timescale did he give you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 from design to the finished article I,m probably looking at 9-12 months, there is a lot of work involved and judging by what I have seen I cant wait , will cost a few bob but at least it will be built exactly how I want it to look and perform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
