Whitebridges Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I was having a rummage in the garage this morning and came across a box of these. It say's of one side of the box: "Gunpell Clones are perfectly shaped and individually packaged air-rifle and air-pistol pellets, air-tight sealed in strong, lightweight PVC trays. All the clones in this pack are fresh, come from the same manufactured batch and are identical in weight". I think i might have bought these possibly in the 1970's. Can't really remember. I'm sure i bought some in another make possibly H&N Silhouette but these are long gone. From what I recall Gunpell Clones didn't last long and finished pretty soon after they went in to business. Anyone know any more? Edited January 14, 2014 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 judging by the packaging they seem to certainly be older than me lol, have to be honest I,ve never seen them but they are probably eley wasp,s judging by the name on the package and before they where put into tins atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think the idea was to re-size the standard stuff and get a batch of the same weight for added consistency. I'm going to try these and see what they are like and compare them with the normal .177 wasps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Never seen or heard of them , but a very good idea in principal , I would think they are a nice collectable I would keep them rather than shoot them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I never thought about them being collectable. If you would like them FB i'll send them to you FOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks that very kind of you , but I am not really much of a collector , i am sure someone would be very happy to take them though for a small donation for the PW charity perhaps ?
