These fit a number of SPA guns. Hector Medina has responded that, if there is sufficient interest, he may be able to facilitate an import deal.

I would take 3 in .177.

Depending on whether we get a bulk purchase price, I'd take 5@ .22 cal for Chaser.  So before you count me in, I'd need to know the negotiated price.

Use them enough, and you will. Not trying to be a dick, but with enough use, the coarse thread screw thru the middle eventually loosens, and can only be tightened so many times before you're trying first locktite, then superglue, and ultimately JB weld to get that damn screw to hold at JUST the right tension. Been there, done all of the above steps.

The Snowpeak magazines work just great, for a while.

Been from late 2017 to Jan. 2018...so like 4 1/2 years...all of them .177's...not sure what "enough" use really is. (would be the same mags, but back when MrodAir was selling them as SPA...before Diana got into it).

HArd to pin down exact dates...ended up buying the co2 pistol, co2 rifle, and PCP rifle within a few months..mags all interchanged, so the mags got mixed.

Are a bit of a PIA to load because they are tiny, but so long as they are are working, will use them.  They all (there were 6 of them...lost one in the woods, so it's 5 now).  Still work,  5 will cover the co2 pistol or rifle's shot count...only need two to cover the PCP's shot count.  Generally load them before going out to shoot, when I run out of pellets I need to take a break to recharge anyway.

Had them apart...the same crud that collects in the bottom of a pellet tin collects in the mags...and out in the woods you will get rained on or fumble one in the mud. 

Vibratite seems to work to keep the screw in place for me...but as you say, may come a time when that doesn't.

MAKE NO MISTAKE....could have pulled better made mags out my butt.....aren't many that are worse made (OK...BEEMAN pcp mags are worse)....but they are still working for me.

NO DOUBT the replacements would be better mags (thinking they'd pretty much have to be)....these factory mags are cheap and show it....not against anyone wanting to up-grade for the sake of ease of loading or to replace factory mags that don't work for them.

-----------

With all that, and pulling for the  side-hustle type of guy, am willing to put myself down for one for testing....so add me to the list if set up for.177.

The seller has fine print that he cannot post to the US and to contact him.  As far as 3D printed items, they are as good as the design.  The materials and fabrication have no issues.  I own several items that are 3D printed from a barrel band to a Picatinny rail add-on - all are superbly constructed.

I gotta say, those larger capacity mags look sweet!
