BSA Magazines Red for .22 and Blue for .177

The new generation BSA magazines are designed to fit all BSA multishot rifles, offering a major upgrade in reliability, ease of use and long term durability. Extensively field tested, these magazines have proven to perform faultlessly in real world shooting conditions and are suitable for both older BSA rifles and new build models, including the BSA Goldstar.

Each magazine features a colour coded rotor for quick calibre identification blue for .177 and red for .22 and incorporates a fully self contained indexing system. This advanced design removes the need for the trigger to assist with indexing, allowing it to focus solely on firing duties. The result is smoother operation, increased reliability and more consistent feeding shot after shot.

Unlike older BSA magazines that relied on a “tic-toc” escapement mechanism, the new style magazines are freewheeling and include an integral pellet stop. This prevents the loaded chamber from rotating past correct alignment with the barrel until the bolt is cycled, ensuring smooth, precise loading every time. The freewheeling rotor will automatically return to chamber one when fully rotated and released.

For added convenience, the rotors are numbered, clearly showing how many shots remain, making them ideal for hunting and competition use where shot awareness is important.

Loading Instructions

1. Insert a pellet into chamber 1, ensuring the skirt is pushed below the top plate.

2. Rotate the rotor to the next chamber and insert the next pellet.

3. Repeat until the magazine is fully loaded.

Important:
Once the loaded magazine is inserted into the rifle, only cycle the bolt once per shot. Cycling the bolt more than once can introduce additional pellets into the barrel and may cause damage to the rifle.
