Default A Tip For Sidelock Shooters

Hey guys, here's a handy dandy little item that doesn't take up much space in your range box or shooting bag.

The next time you visit your doctor or clinic, ask them to give you a couple of Otoscope covers - those little disposable plastic funnels used on the light thingy they use to look deep inside your ear.



There are two sizes. Get both if you can.

The next time you have a need to prime a nipple, just cover the bottom of the funnel and pour in a little powder.



Then cover the top of the funnel and turn it upside down.



Then turn your gun upside down and put the funnel mouth over the nipple.



Then turn the gun upright and tap the side to sift the powder into the nipple.



Neat, huh? The funnel with the large hole goes over the nipple perfectly. If you remove the nipple, the funnel with the small hole goes inside the nipple seat perfectly.

Now - send me a dollar.

(Yeah, I know. You can just put the funnel on the nipple and pour the powder. But if you put too much it's easier to dump the excess back into the container with the funnel in your hand.)
