I own a Daystate Red Wolf Safari and I think it is a minor problem that doesn't require such a fuss...Just shoot your gun and enjoy it's beauty man..I have used FX which are good but Daystate overall quality can't be matched by any other maker on the market.
You don't think that metal to metal contact deserves such a fuss, but do bear in mind the issue does vary from gun to gun. My Renegade was very bad, while my Pulsar was minor by comparison so I didn't bother altering its magazine and it still shot fine. But recently when I was shooting the Pulsar at the dairy, the end of the index lever broke off and jammed in the magazine. Obviously it was weakened from repeatedly striking the pellet probe. The magazine still works after disassembling and removing the broken piece. Now it's the same as if I had used a Dremel tool to repair like I did on my Renegade.Â
I hear the Daystate quality remark often, but frankly I don't see it. I've had multiple problems with both of mine including parts falling off and the factory forgetting to use Lock-Tite where it's required. Also multiple broken actuator pins, though after altering the magazines that issue too may have been corrected. Only time will tell for certain.
While Daystate still claims that it was never an issue at all, one has question why they did a complete redesign of the magazine? To get something that doesn't damage their gun, requires that the customer spend more money, and for the extra $100 they lose the shot count and anti-double load features that they paid to get in the first place. Obviously the word quality, is most accurately defined through personal experience.
Enough said, happy shooting everyone.
