Description

The magazine indexing pin is a critical component for shooters using the original Daystate rotary magazines (pre-2020). While the rifle is fired, the pin is forced upward, providing the mechanical motion required to index the spring-driven magazine. Because it is a moving part subject to high-pressure air and mechanical friction, it is one of the more common “wear items” in the Daystate action.

Important Evolution: Since the introduction of the Self-Indexing “Gate Loading” Magazines in 2020, this pin is no longer required for the magazine to function. Modern Daystate rifles are now often fitted with a “Blanking Plug” instead of this pin. If you have upgraded all your magazines to the new Gate Loading style, this pin can be replaced with a blank to reduce mechanical wear and improve the seal.
