I do not know what the offical name is, but it's a 12 gram changer that you pull down on the grip on the bottom and the 12 gram is released.

ooooh nice pump. Only thing is the quick change is not "Stock Class" legal. If you want a pump you should just build one out of an old autococker body. The pump conversions that get rid of the front block are like $15.

One of my friends gave me an old '99 RF cocker so i turned it in to a pump.

That's a WGP Pump Changer. Drop the cartridge in and slide the "pump" up and it pressurizes. To empty it, just pull down on the pump and tip the cartridge out.

It worked, usually, but it's not reliable. They haven't made them in ten years, and there's a reason they stopped. I have one, and it works most of the time, but every now and then you plunk a cartridge in, and it pierces, then pops right back out.

I once tried it in the winter, and it would never hold a cartridge, leading me to think it has something to do with closely-fitted parts relying on friction. (I've never pulled mine apart, I have to admit I don't know precisely how it works.)

Doc.
