Methods For Keeping Magazines & Fill Probes Organized

[Hangtown-Shooter]

For those of you who own/operate multiple brands and calibers of PCP’s, I am curious how you go about keeping track of which probe or magazine goes with which airgun?

Currently I am keeping all my probes each in their own small zip-seal type bag which is labeled in Sharpie as to what gun it fits, and then all stored in a small compact organizer normally used for fishing tackle… it works well and is easily portable and keeps them all in one place. —->

My magazines on the other hand could benefit from a better method of organization!!

I’d love to see or hear some ideas, thanks for sharing.

Just keep the fill probe in the gun and put a magnetic cap on it to keep gunk out. As for mags, I have a gun case for each gun and keep the mags in the case.

You can also leave it attached to a fill line and keep the in your rifle case..

I use a neoprene puch from my stickman, and then I have a Tupperware tub for all the mags. Really easy to keep everything contained and in one location

Color code your magazines, If you buy the Orion mags, Red is 177 Yellow is 22 blue is 30 and green is 25 caliber ,,, RTI, Uragan, Vulcan, Is what I shoot the Orion mags out of ,

Here’s what I use, it has worked well so far. These cases are from Amazon, (Glcon small case), these are small enough to fit in a pocket or gun case. The bigger case is a small gps case, also from Amazon. Both types of cases are a hard shell. I keep them hanging next each gun so I just grab and go. I use silicone powdercoating caps and rubber automotive vacuum caps to keep out dust and dirt, probably overkill but that’s just me and my ocd and organizational obsession.

@Joekrooz Thanks for sharing… I found a deal on Amazon for the same brand but a size up from the small one you show for 55% off if you buy two, so I have a pair on the way to see how they work out for me

I keep all my probes in a Plano plastic box along with extra Foster caps. It always goes along with me to the range. I only have one or two magazines for my rifles (whatever came with the gun) and they always are in the rifles case.

For magazines, I just throw them into the range bag. The fill probes get put into a Plano double-sided case.

In my research I read that many PCP's have unique fill probes. So far I only have a Synrod with the Foster Quick connect. I am interested in rifles that use fill probes so I am wondering...If the fill probe is unique to a rifle port, what is generally on the other end, is it the Foster connection or do I need a foster adapter for the fill probe so that it hooks up to my pump?

Look at second picture from bottom on my post above, some probes have fitting machined into probe, others use threaded adapter.
@OatmealMu has one of each in his case too

For magazine storage take a look at kube3d https://www.kube3d.co.uk/collections.
They don't cover all brands, but for the ones they do I've been very happy with their products. Especially that you can choose the number of magazines for each case so you get exactly what you need.

 

[Hangtown-Shooter]

Those look nicely made! Thanks for the link @ctshooter

 

[PCPBarry]

Thanks Joekrooz. When I get the probe gun I want I better be ready to deal with that. Would be dissappointing to get the gun and probe with threaded end then have to wait for a fitting to pump it up.
