nail polish?

[Everyinchtheanimal]

Hi guys. I am getting bored of rollouts from my cocker pumps. I use an invert nightstick on my pump as I find it really deadens the sound. I have read about nail polish on the breach of the barrel, where abouts do I put some? How much do I use? And does it work?

Getting a new barrel or a kit is out of the question as I prefer to over bore my paint, its just the sodding rollouts and that dreaded dry fire when/if I get behind someone, are starting to be a pain figuratively and literally.
Any advice please guys greatly appreciated.

Three drops about quarter of an inch into the barrel in a triangle arrangement, let each drop dry before you rotate the barrel to do the next drop, I prefer to use insulation tape though, cut bits about 5 mm long, stick half on the outside of the barrel and fold the rest inside the barrel and press down, if you still get rollouts put more in.

Thanks bud I will try that instead.

No problem, just so happens I was looking both methods up last night to sort a couple of my barrels out, reason I like the tape method is I usually have some insulation tape in my bag when I'm playing so if I need to remove our reapply it at a field its easy to do, whereas the nail polish takes a while to dry and I've heard you can squegie (sp) them out by accident.

I found using a freak kit on my empire sniper after removing the dents prevented roll outs.

Freaks will do it by matching the bore, but in the original post he said he likes to overbore.
A DIY detent by nail polish or tape are the solution in this case

completely missed that bit of the thread lol. I have seen gaffer tape work really well if not using freak kit though.

Just as an update to this thread. I have been using electrical tape on our site guns to prevent roll out with the customers paint, and it works a treat I have had to redo it every month but its so much more professional looking than looking a tw@t when customers keep complaining balls are falling out the barrel!

Shouldn't the detents be doing it for site guns?

If have thought not gaffer tape but electrical tape

Gaffer tape is tough tape, a bit like 'black nasty' but true gaffer tape is strong and tough but does not leave sticky residues. This is what you will find at gigs, film sets etc

Electrical tape is the thin vinyl

If you need gaffer tape then check your not trying to shoot .50" paint down a .68" barrel
