Glad this video is still up. Just end to homedepot and bought six pounds for duct seal for $3 each. I just stuck them to the OSB backstock I was already using and not all my BBs and Pellets are getting silently collected in duct seal. No need to build an actual box.
I've been stuffing a pair of folded jeans into my trap to quiet it down. It works great with only one problem. Eventually the wife finds her jeans hidden away in an old drawer and frantically yells....WTF HAPPEN TO MY JEANS! At this point I recommend to either get out of the house or put on your best poker face and deny everything. The jeans work great but I think I'll invest in an Archer trap! ;-)
I recently discovered that the used air filters from my car stops pellets really well. They measure about 9" x 11|". I placed them in their original boxes and taped two together. I believe their lifespan is as long as the front of the cardboard box. for added safety,I still placed them in a discarded wooden box though.
@ArcherAirguns In the description on one of your traps it says to put in 8lbs of "putty" into the trap and 6lb with a wood block, but what is a wood block? You guys don't seem to sell one.
and when full of pellet? Lead can be removed, and then can be cast in a flat, but with this lead and duct mastic seal we do? and is recycled? How to separate lead from the duct seal?
You might try using a thin sheet of marine plywood between two 2" layers of duct seal, with an additional metal plate behind them. The added support and dense middle layer should stop anything, but you will also have to replace/rebuild the trap more often.
Jesus Fn Christ... can't believe a video selling something NOT AVAILABLE is still up here!!! People, "PYRAMYD AIR" (no, did not spell name wrong!) sells a version of this 'silent trap' for around $70. It is not the fancy box you see on this video, but rather a bit thinner. It uses the same material and a steel plate. One without the steel plate costs $10 less. Neither includes a special clipboard to hold a paper target, but rather a slot in the front-side of the enclosure for a cardboard square that you can tape the target to. I have been using mine for about two years now and love the heck out of it.
