Others BRK/Daystate magazine magnet

[Florida_Man]

Has anyone had the magnet come loose on their $120 magazine? @BRKairgunsUK
I'm thinking of scuffing the surfaces with sand paper and putting a little JB Weld to hold the magnet.

I'm selling my Concept and am including a brand new magazine with that and I'm keeping the faulty original mag in case I buy a 22 cal Atomic.

I believe the cocking arm pull-in magnet was missing or fell out from one of @PasadenaMike's guns that he bought and sold (gun # 76 I think ) ...my Ghosts has been good so far. The S510 uses a bent metal clip to secure mag and are easy to replace if ever needed.

No magnet looseness on any of my four BRKs…

Yes, the non-magnet one on my 177 Ghost magazine has "disappeared" ....I contacted BRK and AoA to see if I can get a replacement ....AoA said that they are getting some...
Apparently only one is magnetic the other is just a steel cylindrical-wafer plug...that way you don't have to make sure which way you orient the magnet (North vs South facing out).

It has happened to me and a little super glue has worked to hold it in.

I applied a little JB Weld and it did the trick. I scored the surfaces a little to improve the bond

One more reason to go Maple Custom Mags! Lol I plan to get one this year....Will give my impressions of it!

No magnet loss on my ghost.

Yes, same here. Apply a small amount of CA glue and shove the magnet tightly back into place.

I ordered a 177 & 22 from them. Great people. They use dual magnets where BRK only use one and a piece of steel….so magnet orientation doesn’t matter for BRK…so as luck would have it their magazines repelled my BRK magazines…we traded emails and they replaced my two with correctly oriented for my ghost magazines and then magazine halves with no magnets so that I could remove the magnets form the originals and glue them in in the reverse polarity compared to my BRK….and this was at no charge and as fast as the post office can deliver ….again great customer service. They updated their webpage for the Ghost, and now the magazines come with magnets not glued in so that you can align them with the BRK’s magazine’s random polarity.
IF you have more than one BRK magazine…since they randomly install the magnet with respect to polarity you could easily have magazines with opposite polarity and thus the maple magazine would only align with those that match it’s polarity.
I use a white paint pen to number the magazine chamber to know how many pellets are left/mag is empty…..Maple numbers the last three chambers and uses a dot on the body to indicate chamber position.

That's actually a hilarious oversight by Brk! Thanks for the heads up on that. I asked if I could get mine made in black and white, and they said it wasn't a problem.

Bad wording on my part. Since BRK only put in one magnet and that is in the same location on each magazine, with the other space being just a piece of steel…it doesnt matter which way their magnet polarity is because it is always magnet to steel when you pair up magazines.
