Default 1st prototype of Benjamin Discovery 10 shot magazine

When I bought this Benjamin Discovery, I installed high scope rings because I expected that getting my fingers and a pellet into the breech would be problematic. I was correct in that assumption. Even with high rings, pellet loading was not as easy as I'd hoped. This spawned the idea of purchasing a clip/magazine for pellet loading. That search did not turn up much so I set out to make my own so I designed a simple gravity feed hopper and printed it out on my makerbot. Id already printed out a sun shield for the scope and a barrel band and a lead dust collector. Here is what the hopper looks like











Here is a video of the first prototype.

That's really a great idea. You better apply for a patent for that right away

I agree. You could sell that one. Good work.

Im past proto #1 and #2 and onto design #3 and its getting better with each iteration. Ive already been approached by an airgun seller suggesting that they buy the intellectual property all together or carrying it as a product. Im still improving the design while we discuss the matter. Proto #3 is considerably different and better than the first test unit.
