Treat yourself to a Xmas present. No need ! Farm has changed hands and I no longer have any permissions. I'll stick to clays for the foreseeable !

I got one of them. I got it off Tiercel off here bless him. It works a treat and really turns the birds.I have an ff6 now but it all ways comes with me because it won't ever break down Edited December 16, 2020 by captainhastings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salopian Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ditchman , Do you have a photograph of your manual flapper please? My late friend Tony Orchard of Apple Sporting Products used to make them but I have lost (misplaced) mine. I have posted on here years ago asking for a photograph or a drawing of the wire support frame and actuating mechanism , to date with no luck .
