A few months ago I tested a Blavor 10,000mAh solar charging power bank and discovered that it took over 130 days to full recharge using sunlight alone. Some of the feedback I got on these series of testing video was that the reason it took so long was because the solar panel was indoors behind a window.
While I am aware that clear window glass does filter out some sunlight (especially UV). But glass does not reduce the power output of a solar panel by as much as some claim. Many outdoor solar panel arrays are covered in glass to protect them from inclement weather.
But to prove my point, I conducted a revised test using the same Blavor solar charger I tested previously. I placed outdoors on my windowsill facing almost directly upward. Exposed to direct sunlight (and the weather) for 7 days to see if I could detect any improvement in charging speed.
I started the test with the battery at 1/2 full as this seemed take the longest to make progress in my earlier tests. I checked the device 7 days later and found no change in the charge indicator. So I left the device to charge an additional 3 weeks (a total of 35 days) and checked it and found, no change. I have no intention of waiting another 100 days to see if charges any faster. To my satisfaction at least I believe this proves my point that the window didn’t make much or any difference to the outcome of my earlier tests.
Teslong sent me their TS NTG500H rifle borescope kit to test and evaluate. The package comes in a long padded box containing the ≥26″ long wand/probe, a USB-C charging cable, a USB-C video cable, a USB-A/Mini video cable, a display monitor and video recorder (with a 32GB SD card), and a set of 4 right angle adapters for various rifle calibers:
(5mm) diameter for .22 caliber & larger (6mm) diameter for 6.5 Creedmore & larger (7mm) diameter for .30 caliber & larger (8.5mm) diameter for .38 caliber & larger (12mm) diameter for .50 caliber & larger
The display monitor also functions as a recording device able to take still photos and video in 720p. Using the USB-A/mini adapter cable, you can connect the wand directly to a tablet or PC. I attempted to test it on my Samsung S21+ phone but was greeted with an Android warning message saying USB video was disabled, which was more of an issue with the 3rd party endoscope App I had downloaded than this device.
The wand/probe has .20 cal diameter allowing it to be used with tight bore .22cal rimfire rifles. The wand has etched inch markings along its length and a white washer plug that help you mark the depth of the probe. This helps you more easily note and return to a specific area of interest in your barrels such as deposits, burrs, and cracks. The rigid wand does make controlling the direction of the probe much easier than non-rigid endoscopes I’ve used.
The video taken with the display was quite good, comparable to other borescope/endoscopes I’ve owned. Not having to download dodgy 3rd party App software on my phone is a plus. It has a built-in rechargeable battery and even a built-in flashlight should you need it.
The unit is a bit pricier than similar borescopes or Teslong’s non-rigid endoscopes. I would have liked a 1080p camera but this may be unnecessary since the tiny sensor at the end of the probe may not actually record details higher than 720p, a larger 1080p file may be over-sampling.
A common issue with new users are complaints of an out-of-focus image. This borescope (and many others this small) are not an auto-focus camera. The focus must be manually adjusted by the user by turning the right-angle mirror to the appropriate number of turns onto the wand. This will vary depending on the size of the barrel. The user must adjust the mirror and lock it in place with the tiny locking ring at the end of the wand. One revolution either way could mean the difference between a blurry mess and a tack sharp image.
Not only are they useful for cleaning and maintaining your new firearms but could be invaluable in evaluating a vintage or collectable C/R rifle. Seeing the condition of the inside of a barrel could mean the difference between paying for Field Grade and paying for Display Grade.

I have a chat with Rich G. one of the winners of my July 17 Contest where I gave away a $25 Evike gift card to 4 different subscribers. It turns out we met before at the FBICAAA range day where I was a volunteer RSO.
Kinokuya is a chain of book stores that started in Shinjuku, Tokyo. In the 1980’s they opened up locations world wide providing Japanese language books to the Japanese business and ex-patriot community. Today they serve American Otakus.
Kinokuya occupies 3 of the lowest floors of the office building. In the basement you’ll find stationary, office supplies, and oddly enough their Studio Ghibli toys. On street level, you’ll find their books (many English language/Western travel books too). On the 2nd floor, are all of their manga, anime toys, Gunpla, and their café.
When I used to work on Madison Ave., my favorite lunch were bento boxes of chicken katsu from take-out shops on 40th St. I would carry them across the street and eating them on the benches around Bryant Park. On less busy days, I’d stroll over to Kinokuya just across the street from the western side of the park. I don’t quite remember as much of a manga or Gunpla is there is today, but I’m glad for it.

The Shooting Product Club sent me an Ideagle Havy Duty Pellet Trap. Initially the product described this as a .22cal Bullet Trap for BB and airguns. I warned them that this could lead to dangerous results if a buyer mistakenly used a .22cal 22LR firearm. They thanked me for the warning, updated the product description on Amazon and sent me the trap to test and evaluate.
I was still a bit skeptical at first as most pellet traps I’ve seen are made for .177cal BB’s and pellets. When .22cal pellets are used, they will deform and damage the metal due to the greater mass and energy of the projectile. A typical .177 lead pellet will weight 7gr while a .22cal pellet weighs over 14gr; more than double the weight. Fired from the same airgun, due to air resistance and retained energy, a .22cal pellet will hit with nearly double the energy of a .177cal projectile.
The package arrived and tipped the scales at just over 11lbs. Opening the box, I found it stuffed with 20 white packs of “Sealant”. This was a foam insulation in all Chinese packaging similar to HVAC sealing putty used by airgunners as a bullet trap medium. Inside were 4 black metal panels and a ziplock bag filled with hex screws, an Allen wrench, and parts for a target clip.
The box did not come with printed instructions but wasn’t too hard to figure out. The trap box was about as easy to assemble as typical IKEA furniture; so easy but time consuming. I was sent a link to download an e-document describing assembly instructions, but left off applying the foam until later in the test to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing ricochets and impact noise.
The rear and bottom panels were about 4mm (3/16″) thick which was much thicker than most pellet traps I’ve used (a far cry from the plastic, fabric, and cardboard “Daisy BB Trap” I’d used as a kid). These thicker panels were made thicker to withstand the direct impact of the airgun projectiles and the rear panel sloped, to deflect the projectile debris downward into the bottom panel which was the effective catch tray for the spall and debris. The side panels were much thinner at about 1.5mm but still rigid enough that I didn’t fear denting or bending it when applying weight or manhandling it.
At my local gun range, set the Ideagle trap on the ground and clipped on a paper bullseye target. I tested it at the recommended 25yrds distance. I fired 10 shots of .22cal 14.3gr roundnose lead pellets from a Benjamin Trail XP Magnum NP rifle. I aimed for the center bullseye and all shots landed with a typical clanging think of lead on steel.
I inspected the trap and found no outward ricochet holes on paper. Some paint chips and small bits of lead spall had escaped under the paper target, likely having bounced outward hit the paper and fallen without sufficient velocity to break paper. Inside the trap, I discovered half of my shots hit the the raised back lip of the bottom panel and not the rear angled impact panel. This was because I fired from a sitting bench height downward onto the trap on the which was positioned on ground. Despite this, the trap showed no distress of damage beyond the surface chipping of the black paint.
I raised the pellet trap and placed it on a barrel the same height as my shooting bench for the rest of the testing. I moved my shooting position 10yrds from the pellet trap, which is typical airgun competition distance to the target. I fired 10 more rounds onto the center of a fresh paper target and inspected the trap.
All 10 shots landed squarely in the rear angled impact panel this time. There was a bit more paint and small debris under the target but there were no outward holes on the paper indicating that none of the spall had ricocheted with enough energy to break paper. On close inspection, the rear panel only sustained surface paint erosion but I could see or feel no deformation on the steel panel.
Next I tested applied the insulation foam to the back panel as described in the e-doc instructions. The foam was very soft and tacky, like melted caramel, and difficult to pull out of its plastic wrapper. The ambient temperature was about 70ºF so it wasn’t very warm.The instructions advised chilling the packets in a “freezer” to stiffen the foam. That should work but you may not have an ice box handy, so I recommend simply peeling off part of the plastic wrapper simply pressing the foam inside of its wrapper onto the panel to save time.
With 9 packets of foam applied to cover the inside of the rear panel. I went back to my 10yrd shooting bench and fired 10 more onto a fresh paper target. This time, I fired all around the target area following a clockwise pattern around the outer ring of the bullseye target so my shots would land on different parts of the panel instead of just the center. My initial reaction was of slight disappointment as the rapport of the impacts didn’t seem quieter. During editing I could see a shorter sound signature of the impact but subjectively there wasn’t much reduction in noise between the foam on the panel and without the foam.
I inspected the trap and found a reduction in debris in front of the trap under the target. Almost no paint chips and far fewer small spall pieces but oddly 2 large chucks of lead, though again none had penetrated the paper target. Inside, I could see holes where pellets had pierced the foam and packets but no sign of damage or deformation to the rear panel.
The foam insulation was somewhat unnecessary. It does reduce spall and could make lead clean up a little easier as it does capture a fair bit of of the projectile. But applying it along the rear bottom panel would capture more of the lead than spreading it all over the entire back panel. Airgunners use clay, HVAC putty, and simply old rags on the bottom of their pellet traps for this exact reason.
Overall the pellet trap worked perfectly as a backstop for .22cal airgun pellets. Surprisingly it did so without any sign of wear or damage. I feel confident in using this pellet trap for .22cal magnum airguns even at 10yrds.

I sat down (virtually) with Greg of Ames, Iowa who was one of four winners in my July 17 Moondog R&D Summer Contest. I gave away four $25 gift cards to Evike.com and an H&K promo baseball cap from Shot Show. Greg was the first winner to get back to me for a Zoom interview.
Greg is a semi-retired commercial real estate agent and FFL. He plans to use the card to buy some more pew pew gear. He stumbled on my YouTube channel Moondog Industries while searching for info on Hawke scopes.
I was sent these prototype 12ga Shotgun Shell holders to evaluate without graphics on the package or instruction manual. They’re polymer and fit 12ga shell securely enough (I didn’t have any 20ga shells to test). They attach to the side of your shotgun receiver using 3M-style adhesive pads, though I’m not sure how well the pads will stay on long term if exposed to gun cleaning solvents.
I gave my contact at the Shooting Product Club some feedback. The product works but is probably better suited for airsoft than reel steel. I’m not sure who the market is for in real firearms? Sure, it’s a budget way to attach a quick load set shells to your shotgun but I personally don’t like the idea of exposed shells that could get snagged.
Trap and clay shooters have round restrictions when competing. Bird hunters are often restricted to 2 round in their gun so perhaps them? Or maybe 3-Gun users maybe who want just an extra backup holder? Looking at Amazon, I see they’re now on sale and quite affordable with 2 packs going for under $10. https://amzn.to/3ciJZEg
