Beeman QB II 1085 Magazine Mod Question

[Paulpo]

I just bought a Beeman QB II 1085 CO2 .22 air rifle

I live in Canada and was told by Beeman that ordering spare magazines is difficult because of customs between the US and Canada. They told me about a quick fix where I could put a Marauder magazine instead by removing a small pin in the rifle breech. The pin, they explained, was for earlier versions of magazines and now serves no purpose. I was told that you pull it out with vice-grips.

My question is: has anybody done this and is there a video on how to do it.

Thank you in advance for any responses.

Apparently it does. I haven't found video, though.

Does The Benjamin Marauder Magazine Fit The Beeman 1085?

It's a question I've been asked multiple times. Does the Benjamin Marauder magazine fit the Beeman 1085? Here's what I've found...

Amazingly fast and detailed response with pictures to boot!

Thank you very much for that answer. The Beeman fellow said you could do it with a pair of vice grips and a hammer but to be careful.

I really wish there was a video!

No worries! DuckDuckGo is a great search engine.

There are a ton of videos on that series of rifle on YT. It will need a little work to be the best it can.

Cheers,

Sirty, not sure what YT is.

Sorry, not sure what YT is.

It's YouTube.

You'll want to clean the barrel and de-burr the transfer port first thing. That will make it more accurate.

Here's a tuning vid, but there are many others. -

I tune for accuracy first. Power is secondary. Good luck!
