This magazine uses a different system to the OEM Falcon and is more reliable. It is spring loaded and automatically index as soon as the pellet probe is withdrawn. It operates independently of the Falcon indexing mechanism (which can be removed or left in place). They are easy to load and much more reliable than the original Falcon system.
Maximum Pellet Length 8.8 mm
Very large pellets such as JSB Jumbo Monster 25.4gr are too long to fit in this magazine. If you are using very heavy pellets or slugs please check the length before ordering. My slide or tray may be more suitable.
177 - 9 Shot
22 - 8 Shot

Instructions and Warnings
Magazine Loading
- To load the magazine hold with the text facing you.
- DO NOT insert a pellet into the visible hole (22 only).
- Rotate the drum so the first hole is past the centre to the left of the slot.
- Insert a pellet.
- Repeat for the remaining pellets.
Shooting
- Cock the gun and keep the bolt back.
- Slide the magazine in from the right, you may need to hold the magazine indexer back a little.
- Close the bolt fully. (Failure to close fully can cause a jam or double load.)
- Shoot.
- When you cock the gun again the magazine will rotate and present the next pellet ready to close and shoot again.
- When empty the magazine presents a solid wall and prevents the bolt being closed.
Double Loading and Jams
- Like most magazines this one will not prevent double loading. You may be able to clear two pellets by firing into the ground. If this fails then the barrel should be removed and a cleaning rod used to push the pellets through. If this does not work then seek expert advice.
- If the magazine jams with a pellet half loaded then the quickest and easiest solution is barrel removal.
Warnings
Each magazine is pre-lubricated and might take a couple of cycles to seat in. If pellet loading stiffens up a small dab of silicone grease is recommended on the outside edge of each pellet hole to protect the seals.
Customer Reviews
After reading many reviews about these mags I decided to purchase a couple for my two multishot Falcons. Purchasing was nice and easy and they were delivered promptly and on time. The magazines were well packaged and were on good condition. They fit both the Hawk and Raptor models perfectly and cycle cleanly unlike the worn out factory mags that I'm replacing. The only reason for not giving them 5 stars is that despite their being rubber gaskets inside the drum of the mag, pellets tend to fall through the holes. I tried various brands of pellets and different sizes and lengths but they all do it. The gaskets don't hold the pellets unlike on BSA magazines or Weirauch and what's more frustrating is that they don't always fall through completely but partially drop through, then get jammed. Once I fathomed a technique for loading them by loading the pellets with the mag horizontal to me, not vertically to drop pellets in they were fine. I will just finish by saying that once filled and loaded into the rifles they worked spot on though.
Thanks for the review Phil. The magazine hole size and o ring ingress is a very fine balance between a smooth operating magazine and the o ring causing jams. These magazines need enough clearance for a Air Arsm S200 probe to pass freely. The O ring is not a loading aid, it prevents the pellet being flicked back into the breech when it indexes. The magazine is designed with a loading slot. All you need to do is rotate the mag slightly further and the loaded pellet is blocked from dropping through.
Looks good and works good
