[Rabbit numbers]

I haven't seen any real problems with rabbit on farms for a while now. But I was speaking to a farmer last week who's getting plagued with them again for the first time in a few years. Unfortunately not one of my permissions as I love to airgun rabbits.

See if a founder can use a plastic pistol to make a mould in casting sand and cast the thing in brass? 

That sounds like a good idea, getting hold of that much brass these days is not easy. I plan to use the plastic and brush paint it with model paint to give it a worn metal effect. I plan to use a dremel to cut it into two.

Thanks Harry, just uploaded the same post.

I'm looking to make a military plaque for a colleague who is leaving after 30 years of service as an Armourer. My plan is to use a plastic replica of a Browning 9mm or Glock pistol and mounting it on a oiled oak mount  with brass insignia and 9mm brass case.

If anyone has a broken or damaged replica or airsoft equivalent I would be most grateful and happy to pay a small fee and cover P&P. 

Cheers,

I think its a gorgeous looking rife and I'm sure it will make a great hunting rifle as stated. But in my humble opinion the FX Dreamline Classic is a much better option on paper at least.

I love the idea of using copper pipe to set up the decoys, so easy and will blend in brilliantly. Every days a school day.

dont forget to put a pic up you know we like pics

 

So my plan is to put strong fishing line through the wing eyelets and then through the body of the decoy and out the hole in the bottom and attach it to the spring on the pole?

I assume this has plastic wings and heavy nylon line through the body that pulled down flaps them. If so I use to mount mine about 18” off the ground using and adapted piece of copper pipe and rune a non stretch line to the hide. I put a strong tent peg in below the the decoy to get most effect when pulling the line.

i used to site mine at the front of the landing zone so birds would follow it in.

cant help on cheap decoys as mine are all home made.

Thanks for the reply Dave, yes it's a plastic one with nylon fishing line through it, stupidly I cut the nylon when I opened the box. Like you I plan to use it to bring them into the landing zone when I set it up at the front.

Please excuse my ignorance, can anyone tell me the best way to set up my manual pigeon flapper? It's a Sportplast pigeon decoy with flapping wings (manual cord pull). I got it yesterday from Uttings and hope to use it on Monday. Also can anyone recommend some good but cheap decoys?

Cheers everyone
