    teflon tape

    Hey does anybody know a good store to buy teflon tape? I went to my local Walgreens and they didn't seem to have any.
    I spent a saturday over a year ago with a group of people doing some trajectory testing with a bench mounted Mag and Cocker with identical barrels (Armson Stealths and PMI Ceramics), chronoing every shot over a red radar chrono. Had a big particle board target with a 2" grid mounted to a ladder that we would move to varying distances.

    We discovered 2 things:
    1) Cockers will break if you look at them wrong.
    2) There was absolutely no discernable difference in the trajectories of the two guns.

      Any hardware store or anywhere that sells sprinkler parts.

      Home depot, Lowes, even nurseries.

          Any halfway decent hardware store will sell teflon tape. It's like $.89

              Make sure the little container says "sealant" or "seal" on it, instead of "Anti-seize".

                Look for the yellow stuff made for gas fittings. It's thicker and less prone to breaking up and shooting bits into yout valve/tank.

                      Thanks guys. I guess I'll be going to the hardware store.

                        Acctually...you don't want the yellow stuff. Oddly enough, it's thicker, but it is also for LP uses. You want the HP 2000-3000psi rating that is white tape in a blue roll.
