GBS Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I bought an air rifle some years ago that came with a box of bits and pieces. Any idea what these are? Thanks, GBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 lids off pellet tins ?..............how big are they......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 A shot on the dark but are they wax? If so could they be anti tamper seals? Possibly the colour denoting different power levels. as I said a complete guess but I’m very much intrigued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Does it look like a babybel from the side, does it have a slit on the other side? if so, I think it was a pellet dispenser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBS Posted March 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Yes there is a slit across the back and a hole at each end but not really enough room to hold pellets without their becoming deformed. Made of rubber. Gbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave at kelton Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 With holes through them they look like spinners for target practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Perhaps you thread them on to string so that they spin when shot - plinking etc… ? That’s just my guess, in other words I don’t know for sure…🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 coin carry . squeeze across slit and if they open. you put your coin/pettetts in or out. give away advertising item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 As above, coin holder, squeeze & the slit opens. Probably printed for sporting use & used as a pellet holder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made of rubber. Gbs Yep pellet dispenser, it was a rubbish idea as when you squeezed the sides to dispense a pellet half a dozen would fall out.

GBS Posted March 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Thank you for all of the replies. It really is an awful design as a pellet dispenser as any pellets are likely to get squished when the sides are bent to open it. Elsewhere the internet seems to think they were a magazine freebie.
