I have a set of reamers like these. I had though of trying to make a plate with 2 holes, optimised for a particular air rifle. One would be a too big hole and the other a too small hole.

Cheers I'll check it out.
I think that the laws here around air guns are so all over the place some just can't be bothered.

Good News! Smile

I've found a company in the UK who will send to NZ! They are Intershoot:

https://www.intershoot.co.uk/product/pelletgage/

It's 67 British pounds in total to send here with Tracking - that's about NZD$128.

Should be here in 2-3 weeks - fingers crossed.

PS: When I asked other overseas vendors why they don't send to NZ, none gave a definitive reply! I don't think they know themselves!!! Bizarre! Thumbs Down

I tried to order one just now but kept getting having trouble processing card, so emailed them.
Will wait for response but as shipping is as much as the product, if there is no one here who can/wants to make one do you want to do a double order with me and split the shipping cost.
I'll just register my card with Google and use Google pay.
NZ is on shipping list but as transaction didn't go all way through I might not have got the don't ship to nz bit.

Help please - Engineer needed!!!

I’ve tried to source a .177 Pellet Gauge head-size checker from overseas but I’m having no luck! The main excuse seems to be: “We don’t ship to New Zealand”? God knows why?

The Pelletgage model seems perfect - it has precision holes for headsizes from 4.46mm - 4.56mm:

https://pelletgage.com/shop/ols/products/177-pelletgage

They say it’s made as follows:

Using a diode pumped fiber optic laser, intense light is directed by a very fine optical fiber, producing a tiny and well defined cutting beam. The accuracy and repeatability for the best of these machines is 2 microns, or 0.00008. Using a special setup for the exact type and thickness of metal, it is programmed and set, it will cut a perfectly round hole, easily stepping up that ten micron diameter for each aperture.

We now have a tool with series of clean, perfectly round apertures stepping from 4.47 to 4.56 mm. After checking with a 40X optical comparator, they are “right on”. Note, the entire incremental span of all ten apertures is a 90 micron range, smallest to largest opening. That’s 0.0035 inches, or about the breadth of a human hair.

Could anyone on the forum (with precision drilling gear) make me one similar perhaps?

Please advise…. Thanks guys! Smile
