IZH 61 and TR5 Extra Reviews

Works well. The rifle is amazing. I have the original made in Russia. Very well made, but for the flaw in the clip/firing mechanism

Has no stop to keep the gun from firing when all pellets are exhausted. Thereby allowing for a empty shot, potentially damaging the rifle. If nothing else, they could paint an area of the clip to show when to stop shooting and reload. Over priced for one clip. Should cost around $3

Be very careful that you count your shots so you don't end up dry firing the gun. An empty chamber provides no back pressure on piston and can damage the rifle.

Funciona bien.

Nada.

Queda perfecto en el rifle.

Work like a champion in my Izh 61 !! Will be ordering a few more down the road.

Not a thing.

If they need some do not hesitate, make that order.

Purchased as a spare. Works great.

not a thing

Works best if rifle is pointed down while reloading.

Able to fire multiple pellets between reloading

Bigger clip, more secure way of loading the clip

worth the price

Easy to use, indexes well.

You need to push the pellets in to the magazines to get them to stay in place. I use a small Phillip's head screwdriver. Make sure you check to make sure you have the new magazine design with 2 rails on the bottom right edge. These are higher quality plastic. They work quite well with the TR5, the older IZH61 mags have a single rail and do not index well in the TR5. Pyramid customer service sent the correct parts out promptly when I contacted them.

The magazines load easily, and feed smoothly once inserted into the Air Venturi TR5 magazine well, and the cost is quite reasonable.

Longer pellets will not work, the magazines do not accept much besides wadcutters.

There needs to be a way to securely load the pellets. The pellets will fall out of the magazines if the magazines are turned over. There needs to be a ring or something that will secure the pellets into the magazines so they can be preloaded and carried without fear of the pellets falling out.

Well made and still available for my IZH61.

nothing

Thanks Pyramyd Air.

Nothing - they do not function in the TR5

Need an OEM magazine that will fit the TR5

Does not function in TR5. Picture in ad does not match the item sent

Works very well. Is nice to have so you can shoot faster.

Make chambers tighter. Pellets are loose and fall out if tipped. Sometimes they fall out as you try to insert them into the rifle.

No

Don't hold the pellets in very well or hardly at all. The gun which I bought these mags for is a very good gun. but the mags aren't. Maybe there is an after market mag of maybe I should be using different pellets.

Make them better at holding in the pellets.

Very easy to load, don't have to worry about pellet placement, as the Baikal rifle inserts the pellets from this clip deep into the barrel. Yeah the pellets fit loosely, but just tilt the clip and rifle slightly forward when you load it into the gun and it is a no hassle easy to use clip. I bought 6 extra clips as the Baikal 61 is so fun and easy to shoot that you can easily get carried away. The accuracy of the Baikal is as great as everyone says and I think part of it is the way these clips take the pellets and how the rifle pushes the pellet down deep into the barrel from out of the clip. Stick with wadcutters or dome shaped pellets, which is what you should be using in the Baikal anyway as it is not suitable for hunting, only plinking and paper targets...Very accurate though. Any other shaped pellets tend to jam the gun. Yeah I know, I was preaching how not to use other pellets, but a few times I reached for the wrong tin and tried them anyway...Result: jammed pellet.

Nothing

The Baikal is easy to un-jam if you do accidentally double load the breach or jam a pellet. First try the cleaning rod they provide with the rifle to see if you can push it out without any troubles, sometimes the pellet falls right out. If it is jammed deeper, typically the pellet is near the trigger area of the gun and you simply need to unscrew the barrel after you take out the top screw on the top of the barrel. It is very easy to take the barrel off and then you just use a small drill bit to partially drill into the back of the pellet, try not to poke all the way though it, and simply pull the pellet out, if that does not work, just take a nice long thin deck screw and lightly twist it into the pellet and pull the pellet out. seriously, take like 4 minutes to do this, the barrel screws back on real easy, the Russians made this thing to last, very low maintenance gun.

Well made strong plastic

Price is high for an injection molded part.

Well made. Identical to the clips included with the rifle.

Well, the price is a little high for what they are. However the price is acceptable. I have a Remington Model 37 the magazines for which go for $200 if you can find them at all. So it's all relative Given current politics I'm glad I can still get extras.

There's been a lot of reports that the pellets will fall out of the clips. I find a little pressure will seat the pellets making it less likely they will drop out. The muzzle side measures .176" while the skirt side measures .179". So there a little squeeze to help hold them.

Easy to load, the ones I have feed without any problems.

I haven't yet found a pellet that will sit securely in these mags. Price is steep for what it is.

If the IZH 61 were a hunting gun, the sloppy mags would be a deal breaker. You couldn't load up and have them ready. But it isn't. I load the mags when I set up in my range and lay them out next to me. Pointing the gun slightly downward when feeding into the gun keeps pellets from falling out of the magazine. If only these things weren't so expensive, especially given they have this problem!

Reduces the time spent loading the rifle. One load = five shots. Having several loaded and ready to go on your shooting bench/table just adds to the fun.

Rework the pellet holes to reduce the size by 0.2mm to 0.4mm. This will increase the interference fit on the pellets helping to retain the pellets in the mag/clip while it is in a pocket/pouch.

The M60 and M61 model rifles come with two mags. While some reviewers said the extra mags they got weren't identical to the ones that were with the rifle. The three I ordered and received are the same right down to the mould edge markings. Flat nosed (wadcutter) style pellets seem to work best. If yo have a pellet saver tool (helps reshape damaged skirt) you can slightly expand the skirt of any standard North American .177 pellet to enhance the interference fit and prevent "drop out" of a pellet when carrying te mag in a pocket. Alternately use 4.6mm or 4.7mm pellets (.177 =4.5mm)

High quality plastic, reasonable cost.

The pellets fall out way too easily, which makes it difficult to carry extra magazines. If the pellets just fall out, what is the purpose of having an extra magazine?

I bought an extra magazine, but don't really use it since the pellets just fall out anyways.

Nothing, because it does not work properly. The holes in the magazine are too wide. When you put the pellets in they stick out on the other side which makes it so you can't load the magazine into the gun.

THIS MAGAZINE IS NOT MADE BY IZH! It is slightly different from the ones that are and is made out of a lighter plastic. Very cheaply produced.

I'm up to my 5th magazine now. Every time I have an order I throw one onto it since it's a cheap add-on for the IZH-61

The purists miss the days of all metal components as well as the parts on the IZH-61 being all metal. There'$ probably no going back.

Yes they fall out if you tilt it while loading the magazine. We use a pellet pen to load them.

I like having the advantage of the multi shot magazine and happy that extras are available for purchase. They work very well in the IZH-61 air rifle.

They should be at least 6 shot or more instead of the 5 shot. Most target sighting etc. is done by shooting in 3 shot groups. The hole size (diameter) could be slightly smaller to retain all variations in pellet skirt diameters. Some pellets like wad-cutters have a tendency to fall out. Metal magazines might be more expensive, but would certainly be more precise.

The loose pellet problem can be remedied by using a pellet skirt sealer.
