Pellet tin insert

Post by Shooterer »

Who makes the plastic/nylon insert for a standard pellet tin that eliminates the square inside corner? It contours the bottom much like the MEC Puck.

I have seen them advertised, but now that I want to buy one, I cant find it.

I don't see them on our sponsor Pilkguns but know both CSS and BFTC carry them.

I find the small piece of foam in JSB pellet tins (H&N too?) works great for free.

Bob,
What I am looking for is an insert that goes in factory pellet tin that has a radius bottom like the puck

On further inspection it looks like the insert is something that might be able to be cut out of a gallon milk/water jug. May take a little trial and error. If someone figures it out it would be nice for them to post a template here.

That looks like a good part to have 3d printed.

Gee, do you think the lid from the pellet tin might work? Just run a pencil around the outside, cut on the line, and it would be oversize enough to give you the conformation you so devoutly desire.

What about putting a generous bead of RTV or similar adhesive or sealant around the ring's inner edge and then forming it into a generous radius of your choosing?

I found the item I was looking for.

Anschutz Wok

The problem is that it cost $9 with $39 shipping to the US. :(

I have found a solution by using the bottom of a soda can.

Hello-

We stumbled upon this by accident.

Here is just a tin baffle, two sizes-

This is sort of like the MEC puck (but comes in different sizes, based on pellet size)-

MEC puck-

We generally just use the pellet tin, and some tape. However, some might like this to prevent
the inevitable pellet dump inside a gun case; during travel.

I think the junior shooters would find the painted items to be fun.

Best regards,
m1963

You could use a magnetic base bolt and screw holder. It is weighted if the stand shelf is not metal. And has a nice radius for pulling pellets. Inexpensive and readily available at auto parts stores.
