R10 mag stuck

[Safety Dave 0]

Hi all,

 

I was selling my BSA R10 MK1 .177 to GAZGB today, so I filled her up with air, loaded up the mag and shot off about 5 pellets.

 

All seemed OK till I tried to remove the mag, I pulled the bolt all the way back, whilst holding it back I pulled the mag release catch forward but the mag stayed secure.

 

Its like although the catch pulled forward, but left the holding pin in place, I have spoken to my local gun dealer and he will take a look at the weekend.

 

Anyone else had this problem before? need to get it sorted asap and cheap so I can sell it to Gaz, thats if he still wants it after this

 

Thanks in advance, Dave

My mates had it about 3-4 times mate , he wiggled the mag an played with the catch and tried putting bolt forward etc. On one side of you r10 there should be two Allen keys, the opposite side where you put mag in. Undo them then try to wiggle magazine out. Like I said he's had this problem about 3-4 times. It's a bitch if its really stuck half way up a mountain and got to go back for an Allen key lol atb

Dave as said by Rob, remove the stop plate I had a R10 in for repair due to the same fault I found the owner had somehow partially half loaded a pellet into the breech end so it was stopping the mag from being removed.If you have a cleaning rod you could try pushing it back from the muzzle in to the mag, If not as said remove the plate and shear the pellet off.
