RE: Silent ball discharger
Hey all!
I haven't been around for awhile, been exploring other outdoor interests. I'm feeling the itch to scratch some rock again.
To the topic. I bought a CO2 discharger and love it. I mostly only use it when hunting (end of the hunt). I don't have to clean the gun if I didn't fire it then and it is discreet when hunting near residential areas. You will use a whole cartridge per ejection so buy more that you think you'll need. One problem I had was when ejecting powerbelts: The blast would push the bullet out of the base and leave the base in the barrel, so make sure to catch the bullet with a sock and check for that. It wasn't a big deal, I just put a puller on the rod and caught the hole in the base and pulled it out, if it happened. Then I just swab a little and pack the gun. Ingenuous idea is that thing.
