Bought a used Air Arms S200 Mk3 in .177, put a 30 quid 3d printed magazine on it from the bay. The magazine works faultlessly and has transformed the rifle into a great tool. It is pellet on pellet at 35metre...cant fault it.

Hello, Sounds good, A link to the mag may help any on here with same rifle

Yes and they seem to need to be used regularly

The seals don't like being left standing idle for long periods of time.

Hello, I agree Vince,  i keep mine topped up to keep  the seals tight , not had any fail yet, The SMK XS 79 177 I changed to HPA , even that holds Air , A cheaper way to get a PCP rather than use CO2 , Although I do not use now as 177 is so fiddly to load now for me,

Hello, I do remember trying out a new magazine at the time but it was naff so just used as a single shot PCP

I think the 3D printers and material feed types have come such along way now. That a lot of products made now are at a lot better tolerance.

Mm, one I tried recently from a supplier who supposedly checked every one wouldn't cycle in an aa410

I think that fella is on the Agf and does a lot of testing to make sure his magazines work well 👍

How many magpies & crows  are you going to carry home 40? 

Don't normally carry them home tbh, if you need to check zero etc then allow for the power curve you're going to start worrying, 40 shots tops is not really practical IMO for serious hunting and even worse for plinking/target work. You were asking about buying your first PCP and the Ultra was mentioned, I simply pointed out that it may not be ideal but if you are happy with the shot count fair enough.

Hi been thinking of getting a new pcp for shooting mainly magpies and crows around where I live . Seeing 3 magpies attacking the moorhen chicks when they were on the lawn and the crows making the barn owls life a misery has spurred me on to getting a decent one. Have a shot gun but too many horses here. I like the look of the Daystate wolverine forester in 177. Any pros or cons anyone got or had one. Any info much appreciated 

Hello, How did you get on with getting a PCP ??
