Intro and question on 2202 magazine

What is strange is they only will not go into the one gun.  The other two take the magazines fine.  Can't figure that one out.

Bleah.  Got in the shop yesterday, and hit the Eagle magzine with the little belt sander; should have tried it for fit more, and hit it less.    It does fit.  Not really as tight as I would prefer, seems to rock, but should be acceptable.  I THINK it will feed rounds OK.  THINK it will, because I have some plastic dummy .22 rounds I used to check.  Well, the stupid dummy rounds are apparently just for revolvers, because they are shorter than a long rifle round, and pointy.  Don't feed worth a tinker's damn, and load almost as poorly.  I don't feel comfortable trying live rounds thru it, just in case - HUGE believer in 'just in case'.  No safe direction to point the gun, just in case.  So, need accurate sized dummy rounds.  I don't know how to make .22 dummy rounds, and can't find anyting on-line about doing it.  So, looks like I will have to order some.  I've had those plastic rounds for a little while now, but only glanced at them when I got them, then put them away, large mistake. 

Got my dummy rounds.  Excellent.  Look just like the real thing, except for a tiny hole in the center of the bottom.  Feed great from the Daisy magazxines, just as long as you work the bolt kind of fast, work it slow and failure to feed every time.  Put some speed on it, and feeds every time, no prob.

The wrong bolt turned out to be a 2201 bolt.  They are not exactly the same as the 2202 bolts.  I've got the Eagle magaxzine 'almost' working.  It doesn't feed in all the way, lacks maybe 1/8", maybe less.  But I am sure it can be made to work.  Problem now is, work with which bolt?  If I make it to work with the 2202 bolt, I'm not sure it will work with the 2201 bolt.  I want to keep the 2202 bolt in the 2212, along with the Daisy magazine, because I think I can get rid of it easier that way.  But on the other hand, I would like to get the Eagle to work with that bolt.  Ah well, I guess I'll just go ahead and work on getting it working with the 2202 bolt, and include it with the 2213 if I can't get it working with the 2201 bolt also.  The 2201 bolt is now in the 2202 with the missing buttplate, undecided if I'll keep that one or not.  The Eagle magazines can be gotten for about $10 each, so I could modify several for it.  Problem is, modifying it is not turning into the cut and dry job I thought it would be, not bad, just more minor details than I'd ever figured on. 

I'm still working on it, never fear, but got other priorities that jumped ahead of it, so work on it has slowed.  Somehow lost the master for my chess set rook, so will need to make another, want to make some for toys for tots; got the rest of the masters, and working on a jig for painting a chess board in two easy steps.  Still need to make a master base for the chess pieces also, and that will also be used for checkers.  And canes, I need at least one spare cane, so designing a few different models, and will have a try at selling some also.  Got a couple of other projects going on also.  Bleah.  Bah.  Humbig.
