Betty Lou and I had a ton of fun shooting the Model 25 at cans yesterday. We shot most of the afternoon and I set out the lights and we continued to shoot after dark. Somehow a BB got into the spring on the magazine and I messed up the spring digging it out. I should have taken it apart instead. So that ended our shooting.
She had so much fun she wanted a Model 25 of her own. So this morning I ordered one for her and a replacement magazine for mine. We'll just consider them Christmas gifts to each other. They should be here Monday.

Here's the DIY model 25 speed loader I mentioned, I went ahead and took some pictures while I had my model 25 out for some plinking.

That speedloader is absolutely brilliant!

I'll try to replicate your design sometime soon!

The replacement magazine came in today for the Model 25. Back up and shooting as new.
I got it from an Ebay seller that is also a GTA member. It's a new stock item.
Now the wait is on for Betty Lou's Model 25 to arrive on Monday or Tuesday and let the games begin.
Amazon says Tuesday but UPS says Monday. The original ETA from Amazon was Monday but they changed it. I think they are tired of sending me credits for late deliveries.

I got  the loader from Amazon, still getting the hang of it. Got my second 25  a couple of weeks ago and got to around 100 shots before I realized I had not cleaned the bore . Amazing what a difference it makes even with a BB gun.

Slick loader bantam, I can see where loading the “ hopper” would be easier.
The bottle of Black Diamonds I am loading from now got over served with Silicone oil be me and that is likely the reason I am having trouble with any loading method.

CJ, the pellet pen loader is much easier to use if you only fill it to about 1/2" from the top. It did take a bit to get used to it but now I can use it eazy peazy like it was made for it. I load all my BB gun stick mags with it now. I'm sure David's method works great too but I'm happy with the BB pen and will continue using it until I'm not.

Thanks.
I came up with this design about 10 years ago, my dad bought himself a model 25 that he was having trouble loading and I made him the 1st version of this design back then.

Big Brown pulled in at 10:20 and dropped off Betty Lou's Model 25. She was finishing up the breakfast dishes before opening the box. She got it opened, looked over the gun then handed it to me.
I had a good look at it for any signs of damage. Nope, looks good to go. It came in the original Daisy Model 25 box and Amazon shipped it in a larger outer box.
I tookk it out on the front porch and used the nasal spray fill bottle to load the mag. The pellet pen loader is a bit better in my opinion.
The flip up peep was real tight and I had to pry it up but that will loosen up. I need to remove it to drill the hole out anyways.
I made about 10 rapid pump and fire shots with it and it seems to function just as it should. Can't feel any difference between it and mine aside from needing a bit of breaking in.
I'm 'bout to head out to the shop to drill the peep and clean and oil the gun. Then I'll get it sighted in for her.

I'll also use my engraving tool to mark them his n hers.

That's a good idea too. Load them up and put a small plug it the end. Heck, load a shirt pocket full of them. I bet the green booger from the 362 would fit.

I used to use plastic straws.

Judt hold one end in a pair of pliers then melt it shut with a lighter.
It's way cheaper , easier , and faster than having to save enough empty Bic pens.

They sell 10 packs for a couple bucks. They don't have to be name brand.

 Wonder if a maganent could be added to the outside of the straw or the like to fully controll the flow of the bb's

Trying to goad Betty Lou into sitting by a fire, sip on a few cold ones and shoot some cans with the matching Model 25s today. So far I got her up to the sipping on a few cold ones level. I might have to modify my tactics to get her to the next levels.

Nope, singing to her didn't work... but then again, that never does.

Offered to cook but it seems as though she is allergic to canned cream of mushroom soup and cheese doodles.

Even with beer.
