Welcome to the forum.

Have a look here for a breech loading design. For future queries, you might want to use the very efficient search feature this forum offers :wink:

welcome to spud file
oh and try remember to post in the right section next time

i find a simple breech is just get a bit of pipe slightly larger than your barrel and drill a hole through both the bit of pipe and your barrel.
now to use just rotate the holes until they line up and u put your ammo in then rotate back to seal up. remember this design isn't completely air tight but a bit of duct tape on the outside of your barrel will help. heres a pic

Another easy way is to drill a hole in the side of a ball valve, so that when it is in the "closed position" you can fit a marble in it and then turn it to put it in the barrel. I don't have any pics but I'll try to find a link.

Here it is:

And welcome to the forum.

that is a good idea jssizzle, if you do that with a meatal ball valve be sure to get all the shavings out, cause i am pretty sure they have O rings inside and you don't want to wreck thous.
trying to decide on a new project, probably something small.

You could cut into the pipe big enough for ammo to fit in the adapt a screw on bottom and get the threaded pipe to slide in and screw on. This one is air tight and its not that much of a hassel to reload with some speed.
