Mine’s still okay…how many rounds would you say you guys have put through yours?
Have you dryfired a significant amount? I have but only a handful of times, put about 4000 rounds through it. Only clean it when it stops cycling properly, say 3 times?
Been considering selling it to help fund a handgun purchase (and to give me an excuse to get a nicer .22 rifle).
Not sure mate. A couple thousand maximum. Dry fire, very rarely. I think there’s an inherent issue, not sure.
Considering how much a new one goes for, you’d probably sell yours for no more than $200. For that amount of money you could just keep it and enjoy it 
I think it’s a very fun and weird enough rifle to keep. I have no plans on selling mine.
Good point, I got mine because it was a unique action, and I have other things to sell before my guns.
Edit: Pressed post too early
I had to check but the c-words have the stainless barrel for $359! Cheaper than the bog standard one.
Have designed and made a few different magazine for the a22 and a17 recently if use are still interested. Keen to send a few out for testing. Just 15 and 23 rounds at this stage so depending on where you are, there are size restrictions as you know. Shoot through an email to [email protected] and I’m happy to send a few out for testing to those serious about it.

VIC here, so I’d love to see what you got in 15 round department?
I would also be happy to try a 15 round mag.
Also located in Vic.
Welcome mate, email sent. QLD
The mags look cool. Did you print most of the plastic bits?

Yea mate, both halves are printed, springs are hand wound and all assembled with bolts.

Has anyone tried one of these magazines yet?
I’m skeptical about anything 3d printed thats sold as a finished product and not raw CAD files.
who’s to say the operator of the printer knows what they are doing? is the printer dialed in with all the necessary steps to make a high quality print? What printer are they using? What specs? What mods? Whats their printing process?
All these questions need answering, the material being used is but one small piece of a larger puzzle that is making a 3d printed object not absolute shit.
I’d rather make my own then trust some random person knows what they are doing…
Same could be said about anything you buy commercially.

Couldnt agree more
the number of people doing homemade manufacturing with say, a CNC milling maching that cost 300,000 is almost zero. but the number of people selling their plastic trinkets from a $500 ender pro is a lot higher.
as soon as i see something for sale thats 3D printed, my gut feeling says “avoid”
So I guess no one has tried one yet.

I did have contact with the bloke and he was going to send a 15 and a 23-rounder to me to check out.
Haven’t heard back in a while 
Yeah, I don’t necessarily agree (broadly) with @keklord on inherent low qualities of 3D manufacturing, I would pay for stuff I’ve designed and printed… But I also think it missed the price point and looked like it needed to be polished a little more aesthetically. Would want it to be in petg at a minimum too, but abs more. Getting magazines to work is crazy hard, so kudos there. Really, should have been around $20 mark. Which would still get more than 100% mark-up in profit. Anyway, my 2c.

Thats a tad disappointing, please post if you get some and let us know how they run.
I’m more interested in loading ease than larger capacity.

Can 100% see where your coming from keklord, I apologise that I have been away for so long. I am back in town though now and back into it. To start with quality, I have gone through over $500 alone in plastic and parts through testing and development along with over 9 months of designing, testing, breaking and then fixing what I’ve found. The material used is PETG due to the flexibility and temperature resistance. ABS was found to be too brittle through the FDM 3D printing process as compared to injection moulded parts. I have spent the past 6 years toying and learning to 3D Print aswell as designing but that is the limit of my experience. I have however been an avid licensed shooter for over 10 years so know all about the respect needed when dealing with firearms and their parts. With these magazines, I find there to be a very low change of a catastrophic failure resulting in damage or harm both because of the low powered ammunition used and the fact that misfeeds in rimfire seldom result in a misfire or weapon damage. Worst case scenario in my opinion is a jammed magazine that wont feed or a jammed firearm that your trained to handle safely as a requirement when you applied for your firearms license. It doesn’t negate the fact that this is still a homemade plastic part and you should always be mindful of any unsafe potential hazards.
Print details are 0.4mm nozzle, 0.24mm layer thickness, 15 hour print time using 1.75mm PETG filament on (as was mentioned before) an Ender 3 V2. Setting are far more important than print quality in most situations but a $1500 printer is a little outside most peoples budgets when starting out in my opinion.
Happy to explain further you any questions but hope this address some of your current concerns.

Do you have any 15 round ones ready to go now?
Is the testing offer still open?
