Benjamin RCSAM22 Marauder/Armada .22-Caliber 10-Shot Auto-Indexing Pellet Magazine

I recently ordered a Marauder .22 that is the no frills edition (Crosman barrel, synthetic stock, no regulator, not semi-auto) and the magazine supplied would always get jammed and refused to cycle the 8th, 9th, 10th, and last "Empty" without removing the magazine and replacing in-between the final rounds.Tried the fix on the forums and Utube videos (rotate the spring for more leverage), did not work... will contact Benjamin to see what they will do about it.In the meantime, I ordered a few of these Semi-auto magazines to keep my inexpensive hunting airgun up and running.So far this Semi-auto edition is functioning as it should... no jams or "misfires" with the 100 or so pellets I have fed into it.Only annoying part is having to insert the first pellet, skirt first from the bottom of the magazine... takes a little getting used to flipping the magazine and the first pellet around, then flip the magazine again and load normally.Considering the magazine is only a few cents worth of plastic and metal... charging the consumer $20 is a swift kick below the belt

Perfect fit for the Marauder. Mine came with the oval loading port which is a little easier to load and all pellets load from the same side. The round port design requires you to load the first pellet from the exit (black) side of magazine. I'd buy this again.

I had 2 brand new magazines which got chew up by what I think is poor rifle design. I received a brand new Armada Semi auto and the pellet probe which pushes the pellet into the breech is damaging the magazines. The probe diameter is too large which has an edge on it that digs into the plastic fins that separates each pellet in the magazine. I have Hatsan Blitz magazines that has way stronger springs to handle the quick cycling. So until Crosman replaces that probe or springs in the mags, I would not use this magazine in it. Use it in the standard Marauder,or V Avenger.

I received a spare .22 caliber pellet magazine from Amazon to hold 10 pellets for my Benjamin Marauder pellet rifle. I loaded both the magazine that came with the rifle and the magazine that came from Amazon. The written instructions that came with the rifle were unclear, so I found better instructions on YouTube. Following the directions that I found on YouTube, I easily loaded the magazines that came with the rifle. When I tried to load the magazine that came from Amazon, the instructions didn't work.After a considerable amount of time and effort failed to yield the same results, I compared the two magazines side-by-side to verify that they were the same. There was a small difference. See the red circles in the photo.The magazine from Amazon, on the left in the photo above, had a single pellet sized hole in the clear plastic front face, thru which you could see the hole that would hold the pellet. The pellet holes were around the numbers 0 thru 10.The magazines that came with the rifle had this same hole, but the hole in the clear plastic face was extended to the next pellet hole. This explained why the YouTube instructions didn't work.I got out my battery powered drill and with a drill bit the same diameter as the original hole, I made another hole above the next pellet hole and connected them in an arc. Now the magazine from Amazon could be loaded like the other one and it worked fine after the repair.It shouldn't have been necessary to drill a hole to correct the defective magazine from Amazon. Luckily, the repair was easy to do, but if I hadn't had another magazine to compare it to, I wouldn't have known what to do.

Works. Correct magazine for my rifle.

The semi automatic Armada, continually jammed or misfire, and I believe part of the problem was the magazine design

Came on time and worked as described.

First off, it's plastic. Not composite, plastic. Plastic seems to me to be an inappropriate material to be used as a material for a heavily used weapon component. To top it off this plastic will set you back about $20.Then there is the matter of loading the magazine. I read and re-read the instructions and could not get it to load. I actually had to call tech support who agreed it was an awkward process - but they did walk me through it successfully. If there is a bright spot here it would be the tech support line.Expensive, awkward to load and plastic. You decide.
