I did I slightly modified version of this. One thing I would say is hang it up with a weight on one end before shrinking the tubing, if not it can distort all over the place. Anyway thanks Tyrone for more inspiration, keep it up mate.
@lefizz55 Thanks so much for your kind words, yes you need to make sure it is lying straight when you shrink the tubing else it will take the shape it cools in
Looks like a good idea to me, especially if you have those things on hand and cant find your cleaning kit or dont have a cleaning kit, that would work great!!
Thanks. Made myself one of these and works very well. My wife had some thin felt material leftover from a project that she had bought at a local fabric shop. I cut it into small patches, probably a little smaller than the tissue paper than you were using in another video at it is a bit thicker and tried these. I think that they work better than the tissue paper.
@Alex Bond-Smith Thanks for your feedback glad it works. I agree that the material should work a little better. Just remember not to clean it so much that there is no coating left inside
Hi,my Artemis seems to have lost some power. Not killing the rats now. Did the tissue test and that was fine..only using it at around 20 mtrs.just about goes through one side of a can,it used to pass right through both sides before..is there anything I can do to it? It has fired around 700 shots since purchase last year.5.5 mm.Ty Paul.
Hi Paul, that doesn't sound right. The tissue test is a good start but a few other things you can check. Could be that you have a leak at the transfer port, it could be that the co2 piercer is not piercing the capsule nicely. Sometimes the little filter by the capsule piercer gets clogged and doesn't allow enough co2 into the valve. I would suggest you strip everything down and do a once over of all the components. I have a full video series on full strip down and reassemble and what to look for
Hi, I think I know the problem now.last night was the coldest this autumn around 3 or 4 oc centigrade .accuracy was way off and when I compensated pellet wasn’t hitting with anywhere enough force to put down a rat. So after looking at your cold test video,I surmise this to be the problem. I’m hoping that a hw 97 will not be affected so drastically as the little Artemis!? Ty for your work. Paul.
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner your way is based upon low cost and availability of materisls to do it with, I think you are possibly more capable than the naysayers...just saying!!
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner you just keep doing what you do! You inspire us and you have a skillful mind complimented by capable hands..if someone doesn't get what you do then they simply need to watch it again because you are very thorough!!

@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Thanks. I think I have cleaned it too much. Will put another patch with some Tool in a Can through before I use again.
@Alex Bond-Smith yes that sounds like a good, shoot the softest pellets you got for a little while they will give a nice lining.

Yip anything under 10°C can be a problem for the co2
What a lot of messing about!
Thanks for your comment @nigel base have you got a simpler way to do it

Thanks @G Whitfield I think the proof is in the pudding 😉. Even if there is only 1 person who benefits from the video that will make me happy
