Frankford Arsenal Powder Trickler hack?

[Wellington]

I am trying to extend the feed tube on my Frankford Arsenal Powder Trickler. Straws are oh so close to fitting but I cannot slip them on. I have tried heating the straw in boiling water but it cools to fast to stretch on. Any ideas fellows?

Visit different restaurants to get different size tubes or get a stiff hose thatll fit

My FA trickler is long enough— why do you feel it needs a “hack”?

btw- try a heat gun.

These days starting a car could be called a “life hack” in some social circles. Its like racist, its just lost its meaning and is muddied now

Maybe try some shrink tubing to join the straw to the trickler. Use a blow dryer to shrink the tubing over the straw/spout junction. Shrink tubing is available in Home Depot electrical department for splicing wiring.

So I flared the end of the straw with the shoulder of a .243 case and got it started, heated with a hair drier and got about an inch on the tube.

I got tired of having to clean out the powder in the trickler when done, so I just use a shot glass now.
