Homemade BB loader?

[lyphe]

Hey all, i'm finding it a bit annoying having to manually fill my mag with BBs, but i really don't want to spend money on a BB loader, especially since i'm far from actually playing real games. I tried to engineer one out of an old highligher, but the BBs keep getting stuck, so i gave up. Anyone here have any cleaver ideas to make a BB loader out of household/easily accessible/cheap materials?

I put BBs in a film canaster, drill out the bottom, put a loading rod through the bottom. Then the top cap I put a small hole to fit my Rod pushing thingy, and it works well you can custom cut the length to make a specific number of BBs per load. Quick and easy but the problem is that its not effective in the field.

Check your local dollar store, I found a bb loader bottle there filled with the worst bb's ever, but it was only a dollar so I bought it.

just buy one of those stick loaders the basic kind. Stabby Stabby into the bag of BB's to load it up push the rod, mag loaded.

Or just watch the Gear and Assecories sections ALWAYS see those lil MK23 mag bb loaders kicking around in there pretty cheap. Look half decent on your LBV too. Personlly I want to get one of those beacon replica ones, those are cool.

I carry my Bbs in the BB bottles(empty softair bottles with the honey bottle top) and I use them to fill my Bb loaders.

holds 200 rounds, fills fast, fits in a pistol pouch and costs $7.50
save yourself the trouble

Same, I stole a couple 2000 bb bottles from my brothers CT crap, and refilled them with my own, works great with the spout, and for bb loaders, pretty sad when u cant dish out atleast 10 bucks for one, even just 90 round cap.

well, it did take me 2 years before I stopped using the BB loading rod

I believe Film Canasters work best, you can fill them and keep a few in your vest, holds around 200 rounds each, so you load your BB loader without the rattling huge bottles

yeah it is sad, but hey, i'm a student and money matters. also i just quit my job.

Droc, where can i get one of thoes loaders, i saw a couple on random sites, but they are all $20 and up plus shipping.

If you happen to attend anygames that Storekeeper goes to you can pick one up for 15 or so, assuming he didn't chage his prices

Wargamers aka WGC is the ultimate resource http://www.wgcshop.com/

I use old ten round paintball tubes from back in the day.
I tape 3 together and they are the size of one M4 mag.
One tube will refill 3/4 of a high cap M4 mag and it makes it easy to reload on the field and carry your extra ammo in your mag pouches.

LOL I'm with Droc on this one...ditto for me, and ironically enough, I just stopped using my loading rod because I bought the exact same KA loader.

It really is worth the $20 you'd pay a Canadian retailer for it. Of course, if you get it through a WGC order, more power to yah. :-)
