Abstract: An adjustable diameter die assembly for extruding a heated and malleable workpiece being forcefully moved downstream includes a die having a first ring and a second ring spaced apart from the first ring, the die having an axial portion extending intermediate the first and second rings that defines a throughbore having an axial diameter that is adjustable. The adjustable diameter die assembly includes a piston/cylinder combination operatively coupled to the die that, when actuated, causes (1) a compression of the first and second rings toward one another such that the axial diameter is decreased or (2) a stretching of the first and second rings away from one another such that the adjustable axial diameter is adjusted, respectively.

Abstract: A pellet magazine for attachment to a pellet gun includes an elongate casing having opposing top and bottom walls extending between first and second ends and opposing left and right sidewalls that, together, fine a magazine channel. The bottom wall defines an outlet port adjacent the first end. The magazine channel includes pellet and spring channel portions. A plurality of pellets may be inserted into the pellet channel portion. A compression spring is included in pellet spring channel portion to urge the plurality of pellets toward the outlet port. A pellet pocket member is rotatably coupled to the casing and positioned in the magazine channel in communication with the portion channel for moving a respective pellet from the loaded configuration to the unloaded configuration when actuated. The pellet pocket member is coupled to an actuation switch to sequentially actuate the pellet pocket to urge a pellet through the outlet port.
