air muzzle loader from menards
« on: December 31, 2010, 10:33:02 PM »
saw it in backwoodsman magazine. uses certain brand pop up sprinkler valve that has a "manual" switch. put a reservior w/ a valve stem behind it and a barrel ahead of it. (their 1/2" aluminum tubing makes good .40cal barrel w/ patched lead balls, or use194 automotive light bulbs)
