5.6mm enlargement tool ?

BSA used to make and sellthem for use with the Airsporter S. It works. 2 thin steel discs, a short, thick wall tube with tapered hole and a ball bearing. Place the tube on top of one of the discs. Drop pellet in nose fist. Drop ball bearing in skirt and push bearing down with the second disc until it comes to rest on top of the tube. Length of tube and sizes of taper determine the end result.

Have you got a picture of one please?

You could possibly use a cheap brake pipe flaring tool to do the job.
The flaring tool itself is tapered at approx a suitable angle and then the clamp part could be adjusted to suit.
I don't have mine to hand but having used one many times I can see how this would easily work well if you got the clamp part right and they cost less than £10.
They also have die's which could be used but I can't think of these would be usable or you could make a for if needed.

I can understand making your own pellets like that if it was one of those large bore high power rifles but it's a long old process if you want to have a good plinking session

Yep , that’s the one.

I thought it was pretty good.

Therapeutic & rewarding what’s not to like ?

Mmmmm... At what point does 'therapeutic & rewarding' become boring & repetitive?
With my disposition, I suspect sooner rather than later.

I was given one of these many years ago, this one has two 1.5mm thick discs, 2 very thin shim discs, knurled thick walled tapered tube, ball bearing and plunger, can't be many of these still complete ?

There was no need for a plunger. One of the discs pushed the ball bearing down the tapered tube until the disc rested on top of the tube. That way all pellets produced were identical. The factory item was made to work with Wasp/Pylarm so that the Airsporter S came up to the advertised power levels but it wouldnt be too difficult to make another tube of a length to suit currently available pellets.

Still got one of those somewhere in a drawer full of bits. They did work and gave consistent results, although a bit boring after a couple of dozen.

Can you give me the heads up on what bits n pieces are contained in your BSA sizer kit please Flogger.
And as I'm thinking of selling the one I have, what's a fair price mate ?

HW55T. The contents of the BSA sizer are the same as you have described further up the list. Thats the full complement of the kit. As for value i am still giving that some thought.
