London Best Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Unless I remember wrongly, the paper case Eley were supposed to fire the paper tube through the bore with the shot and it disintegrated on leaving the muzzle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if these previously came in different lengths for different charges. Or if solid projectile ammo was more common? As in attached picture I used my 9mm for the first time the other day and cases looked like they were significantly over-pressure once fired. Had to extract with pliers each time so only fired a few shots. It seems to have expanded to fit until the end where it's formed a neck. Before firing looked exactly like the example on far left of your image. Wondering what the issue is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 No problem, I found 4 of the older style paper ones and they were all the same length. I thinking the same as London Best, pretty sure they whole paper part went along with the shot on the older one's, so im guessing it wouldn't matter if they were a bit longer. I wouldn't gave thought there was enough oomph in one to do any sort of damage, I'm sure someone on here will be able to give a definite answer though.

London Best Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) I used to buy Red Rivals and Blue Rivals in the ‘60’s. I can’t remember where, but it would be in Derby somewhere. I think it may have been from the old-fashioned ironmongers, Wallace’s. There used to be an impressive confetti storm when you fired one!
