    Which east coast big box stores (if any) stock the silver bb's?

    Thanks

    WalMart has the best price on 6000 daisy regular. high cost BB's are a waste of money IMO, but they do make people notice. Die them with printers ink and the retrival process becomes a contest of what color is most present (you won't make friends).

    Walmart, the one bigbox my area doesn't have. I did just find out my local Dicks Sporting stocks the 4K pack.

    Am i the only person who has trouble with the embedded amazon links where they just show an amazon banner rather than the product info?

    My mistake. I assumed that the silver BB's were "competition grade". I bought the standard Daisy's for the regional. I run the black bb's in the Mogador though.

    You won't make friends when they are picking "your" color BB's out of their hull.
    You can use printers ink thined with denatured. Works well if you take your time and roll then around on a cafateria tray to coat and news paper to dry.

    back about a decade+ or so, the competition BBs were almost a requirement due to poor quality control on the normal lines. Non-round BBs would show up in alarming quantity and if you didn't spot it in time, cause a major jam inside your gun. Daisy and the other manufacturers seem to have their acts together these days and the walmart grade work just fine.

    I would like to tattoo my bb's. Will printers ink work for that?
