The problem on mine was the co2 nozzle at the front of the valve, it's spring loaded to keep it back from the top of the magazine, but when the valve opens the co2 pushes it out a little bit, I think to push the bb out of the mag. The locating step had sheared off which stopped the spring pulling the nozzle back out of the way, so preventing the next bb from moving up into position. I tried to fix it with various smaller diameter springs, but they just kept getting coil-bound after a few shots. The valve is ridiculously easy to swap out, other than a field strip, all it needs is the right hand grip removing to push out the two fixing pins. Alternatively, I used one of those tiny, but strong magnets to just pull them out. Loving the case, I had one of his inserts for my 92FS, so much better than the original.

I really like the idea of a small, compact autoloader. I’ve got a PPK but it’s not working properly at the moment, and the stick magazines just aren’t the same The stick mags are the only reason I don't own one myself, I'd love a full size drop free magazine loading PPK in my collection....

Likewise. They’re still great fun to shoot but just lose so much when it comes to reloading. The 365 though, that might need some further thought!

I have to say it’s incredibly easy to load the BBs into the P365 magazine. There’s no need to compress the mag spring right down as in the case of Glocks and the like. Instead you can simply feed the BBs in through the top of the mag in the same way a brass shell would be slotted into a real steel powder burning magazine.

Modski66 I’m not certain to be honest, it’s had probably 4K bbs through it, but now the action just doesn’t cycle fully so it often fails to feed. I expect it needs a new valve, but I’ve never got round to looking into it. It was my favourite for a while so I ought to repair it at some point Reading your post of putting 4K of bbs through a pistol made me realise I’ve been far too harsh on my Glock. Here’s me moaning about the magazine feed being a bit worn and I’ve just totted up how many jars of BBs the Glock has shot - five! Five x 2500!!! 12500 bbs!!! If they were bullets I’d have thought the gun would’ve had a hard life and be looking for a new one. Instead I’m moaning because my magazine has seen better days. I have found new found respect for my Glock from now on! The Glock love … is on … ... and should the worst happen ... Backups ... and before anyone asks if I'm selling one ...

As mentioned in the message, I made these on the PC using MS Publisher. They are to fit within the depressions on the Nuprol small pistol cases. If anyone wants a copy of the Publisher file to make their own just let me know

I do not Have Ms Publisher so Thanks for the offer Hi ERIC D - do you have the Nuprol cases? If so when I get time later on in the week I will try and convert my template into a PDF which you should be able to open and print in the right sizing. Was it specifically the Walther one you were looking at? I currently have one for Walther PPK, Colt 1911 and Webley. If you don't have a printer etc. send me a PM and we will see what I can sort for you mate

Thank You so much Modski for the offer the only down side is it is for a Beretta 92FS as I had to buy this case as "Waltherfan made the insert for that pistol which includes a silencer and that is the one he recommended mate

If you have the Nuprol case then I can knock up a Beretta design - does your case look like mine but without the sticker? I've done these as a test but can use any colours or images -

Sorry about my cheek but do not have a clue being 71 My Computer skills are below basic Thanks Eric Ps how do you stick them to the case anyway Hi Eric, no problem mate. Please send me a PM with your full name and address and I will try and get these out to you this week at some point. No need for payment mate, they are small and light so will only be a stamp so don't worry about costs. I used sticky back plastic on mine, I will put some on your labels so you'll just need to peel the back off when they arrive and stick down. If anyone else is interested in the PDF version, I've attached mine here with a mix of labels on. I would be happy to change these around on Publisher if anyone wanted a different logo design, or post the Publisher file if anyone else has the program. Just need to print off in full mode ideally on photo paper to get the blacks nice and dark/shiny Nuprol.pdf (201.69 KB)
