A little patch of tissue paper could be used as a cup. Just poke the paper into the muzzle with a dowel slightly smaller than the bore, leaving the paper flaring a bit like a funnel. Pour in some salt. Fold over one corner of the paper to keep the salt from pouring out when pointing downward, then using the dowel push it most of the way back to the chamber... You could cut the push rod to just the right length such that the paper stops maybe 1/4" before the transfer port. A single folded corner on tissue paper would likely not stop the salt from spreading on leaving the muzzle. Might take a bit of trial and error to get the fold just right. Hm, think I'm gonna have to try this with my old Webley Junior, a smoothbore .177" pistol. We've been having worse than usual wasp problems this summer...
