Mice! Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Thought it might be a stop gap, just tried it and I cant get the .22 pellets in need something a little bigger, back of the drill measured about 5.4 even though it was a5.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Have a BIC pencil stem in pieces at the moment which shows promise, but have another squirrel on camera that needs eliminating and some foxes this afternoon/evening so a job for the next rainy day. A fairly simple concept, just need to put together the ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIDENSEEK Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 First post on airgunners, so be gentle with me. Probably old news, but for .22 pellets we used to carry short lengths of tv co-ax cable in our pockets with a pellet loaded in each, shove the plastic inner down like a syringe to shove pellet up spout (springers). I would have thought a section of flexible tube of the right diameter for .177 would do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice!

Walker570 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Just looking this morning and will cut the BIC pencil tube in half and that will hold 10 pellets. All I need is some rubber tube slightly small inside diameter than the 177 pellet, enough to stop them falling through but soft enough to allow pellet to be pushed through without damage to the skirt. Similar tube at the other end to keep the 'plunger' in position. It's clear plastic so can see the pellets inside. Don't need it to seat pellet as it is only designed to put the pellet in my loader and have them handy instead of loose in a tin/box/pouch. I could make up three(30 pellets) and that would give me a good hour or twos tree rat culling. By making the tube shorter, with the plunger extended and full of pellets it will still be only the length of a Biro. PLUS it doesn't cost £12 or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 well I failed again, two pellets in and very stuck, I should really measure the skirt but someone left the pen on my bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
