Re: HL Chally 2 gun bellows
Ive seen them in pound shops B and M too
But did not have my head in gear
The siphon bellows are totally flexable ..so a recoil would work suoeefine and there's easly paintable with enamal and water based paints

Re: HL Chally 2 gun bellows
LOL, I had one of those siphons for my old fish tank, and threw it away last year
I think they would be a little stiffer than the rubber ones Mr Docomar750 has.

I agree but the "rib" count looks better IMO.Son of a gun-ner wrote:I think they would be a little stiffer than the rubber ones Mr Docomar750 has.

Re: HL Chally 2 gun bellows
If you use a polyxxxx plastic as used on the symphon then paint MAY crack off but you should be able to dye that material. Don't think rubber would take paint or dye. Its great finding 'bits' made to do one job that sort out a problem elsewhere!

Excellent, the scale appearance is very important to me but it has to function without putting excess stress on the recoil mechanism, good to hear!mcevoyi wrote:I've had no,problem with the recoil at all ..

Re: HL Chally 2 gun bellows
Mr mcevoyi, would you be so kind as to be able to tell me the outside diameter of that tube please, I've found some tube suppliers, but they do multiple sizes, from memory, I'm thinking around 20mm.
