Fill probe containers. What do you use?

[MOhunter]

Hey everyone, I'm racking my brain on something to hold PCP fill probes in. Something with separate compartments I can label, etc. I don't keep any mounted in my rifles because I'm normally in the woods with them. And I'm tired of having them all mixed up in an old vitamin bottle. Does anyone use something out there that fits the bill? Thanks.

If you go to your local pharmacy, they have rubber tubes with rubber lids, super cheap too

so I usually leave the hatsan blitz in the compressor and I use a screw top pellet tin to hold my umarex notos probe and 4 magazines and then the american tactical liberty nova I keep in the same place as it's magazines.. which gets me to thinking about putting it in a screw top tin with the magazines like I do the notos..
honestly I wish if they made fill probes all identical it would be nice.. or just put foster fittings on them and not use probes.

Well at home I just have a drawer dedicated to airgun stuff and a fill station setup in the spare bedroom .. I have a couple of plastic organizer boxes for probes O-rings other accessories in the drawer ... if I'm going somewhere I'll just put the probe I'm using with the gun I'm taking in the fill hose ..its not super slick, but i dont have to look for stuff ..

I use a small zipper case. I don't recall where I git it, but it works great at keeping them all together. Just don't really have a way to label them...

I have these small drawstring pouches, they're about 4" square. Labeled for each gun and they'll easily hold some mags if necessary.
Plus they fit nicely in the gun case.

But, in the end, what is the attraction to fill probes? A male foster seems to make so much more sense.

I so totally agree on the foster fittings. But man, you'd think the manufacturers would catch on with as many of us wanting that. The problem I'd have is I use mine for actual woods-walking, so I'd hate to have a foster fitting sticking out the bottom and then trip and gouge it in the mud. My fill probe is lightly super-glued into my Notos tho, and I screw on a tire valve cover cap to keep dirt out.

id not want to leave the probe in my notos, they either need to have a standard foster fitting with a screw on cover to keep it clean.. or if fill probes then it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to get on the same page and make them all the same size..

Small plastic baggies.

 

[Gr8Recreation]

They should have a fill probe recess in the grip which seals

I 3d print little caps that have a snug fit on the probe. You can find designs on thingiverse and printables.
