Air Venturi Avenger Magazine, .177 Reviews

Not much

Better build quality is needed. Both magazines that came with gun continue to jam more than not. Pellets do not drop in when reloading and have to be pushed in sometimes.

After market makes many superior alternatives to the stock magazines that are much better.

The magazine works well.

The durability of the internal spring needs to be more robust.

In less than three months of use four of my magazines have failed.

The convenience. Price is reasonable also. Other manufacturer's magazines cost double or triple.

Better quality. The construction is consistent in that all 5 of my magazines exhibited the same problems.

All 5 of my magazines were too thick and wouldn't fit into the receiving area. I fixed them by lightly sanding the side that faces the breech by a few thousands of an inch. Now they slide in. Another problem with all 5 was that a number of pellet chambers were to small. Had to take the magazines apart and chamfer the entry point of the chamber and had to widen the chambers slightly so that the pellets would slide into them. Chambers 2, 3, and 4 were affected the most on all the magazines. Appears that the molding device making these magazines needs tuning up. Once I did the alterations, the magazines now work flawlessly. A side note to the magazines is that the really short pellets (lighter ones) sometimes cause a jam when inserting pellet into the barrel: might be twisting. The longer pellets, like Baracuda 10.65 grain and Exact Heavy Diabola 10.34 grain work perfectly. These particular pellets are really quite accurate in my Avenger, with the Exact a bit more so.

After loaded the magazine, makes shooting the rifle easy to load. Loading the rifle with the single shot tray is a bugger with a scope mounted. But, the magazines (I have 3) did experience a bunch of jams: loading the magazine and the magazine inserting pellet into the rifle's breech. I was getting about 2 jams per magazine (tuck pellet halfway into the rifles breech). Searched You Tube and found the fix. Really easy. Seems to need a clean-up of the (black) pellet holder, as loading pellets into it don't go in easily. After the clean-up, I have so far not had any jams, loading the magazine or the bolt inserting pellet into the rifle's breech. Price is great. For similar magazines from other manufacturers are more expensive. Price seems fai, compared to what other manufacturer's charge.

Some other manufacturers have a different pellet loading system and seems to be a better and easier loading procedure. Maybe those would be a better design.

Other than the jamming problems (fixed), works OK (now).

came quick dose work

they stick

i found umbrex 12x synergis rapidMag .177 worked better in my Air Venturi Avenger

This one actually works as it should bery smooth and flawless

Magnet so itstays more secure

Go with 22 it's easier to load

They work well.

Fits well, Feeds reliably (flat nosed pellets only type tested so far).

Instructions should be rewritten. Somewhat ambiguous as is.

Not really

Works great

They are easy to load

They seem to lose the spring attention. It seems the spring comes out of the retaining.

Buy extra just in case.
