				Breach loading, small pipe

				Hey
Iv done some searching on breech loaders and didn't find anything for small barrel rifles.  My barrell is 15mm or the perfect size for a normal marble to fit in.  I was wondering if anyone had a relativly fast breech loading system.  My current way is done because the barrel screws onto my valve so i just unscrew the barrell and put in the ammo. 
Thanks
Marco

				Search the forums a little more carefully next time. 
This is the easiest form of breech loading in my opinion: 
poorman's breech 
 
He made a mistake on that page though. you have to use a piece of pipe, with the same inside diameter as the outside diameter of your pipe, ie. a 20mm conduit barrel, using 25mm conduit as the sleeve is ideal, seeing as the 25mm has an I.D of 20mm. 
 
Good luck.

				You could drill a hole in teh barrel the size of your ammo and add a coupler with the stopper ground out and slide it over the hole when you are shooting

				Well, technically, isnt that the same as the poormans breech?

				Hey
I used the poor mans breech thing and put a handle on it so its kinda like a bolt action rifle.  I was wondering if there was a way to make it 100% airtight, it is reltivly airtight at the moment but i was wondering if i could make it 100% airtight
Thanks

				hey,
 
if you want to make it really air tight you can use o rings, or you can just put some duct tape between the barrel and the breech
hope that helps!
