does this exist? hand pump/bellows
 

So my new muzzle loader - a nice TC White Mountain Carbine - has this issue..

From clean, I can load the first two shots fine but then the third is extremely hard. Easy - run a nylon brus up/down bore a few times, invert and knock the crud out. Problem is then the dogleg flash channel gets clogged and a nipple pick wont clear it so I have to pull the nipple and put a bit of powder directly behind as a booster charge

A blip of canned air clears it or at least seems to - will test that today after work. If that works though then I would like a bicycle pump or hand bellows or something that can give me a quick very directed 1/2cu ft or so of air

The canned air I have ought to get me thru a few range sessions but since my other TC is likely to do the same thing I would rather not depend on the canned air

(not worried about hunting since that will be a shot on a clean system)

Ideas?

Only thing I can think of is a lens blower for cameras, but that's not going to give you 1/2 cu ft of air volume.

I'm sure the actual volume I need is much smaller, but I have no idea as to what would be the minimal amount needed....

Do a search for squeezeable air pump. That may give you what you need in a compact package.

Wacky idea - Balloon animal pump. You might have to slip a piece of hose over the spout to seal on the muzzle (or adapt something to blow through the nipple if you're doing that).

1/4" airline tubing fits fine ;)

something like this?

if you really need that much volume maybe retrofit a bag valve mask aka ambubag? These are cheap/disposable items.

And to think I stopped working in central supply for a hospital 26 yeas ago ... One of those big massive syringes we used for lavage treatments on wounds may work...
