ARRAN 22 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 saw a post up on here someone said take the brass part of 2 empty shotgun shells, take the firing pins out, one of them needs a bit of d.i.y work to open it up a little so the other can be pushed inside. supposed to work, iv tried but couldn't open it up enough so the other would fit in. would be easier using a vice..

It'll end up similar in principal and function as the bottle-top squeaker I described .Probably a tad simpler as well as it probably does'nt reqire glue to seal it . If you are having trouble fitting the caps together try crimping the "male" one with pointed pliers so that it will tap inside the other one. Alternatively get a ball ended hammer or even a rounded pebble and tap it into the mouth of the the "female" case to open it up a fraction. If it splits you might need to anneal the next one you try with a blow torch ,gas flame or just by leaving it in the bottom of a bonfire .Give it a go and let us know how you get on .

ARRAN 22 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 never thought of using the rounded side of the hammers and heating it up will give it a try mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
