Question for anyone that's bought an airgun recently.
pie-eater replied to pie-eater's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Thats good news thanks Paulus -
What ID do you need to provide if buying in person? Wanting to buy an air pistol but apart from an expired provisional license I have no ID.

A squirrel having lunch

Thanks mate I'll message him.

I've had my bsa scorpion 177 for about 10 years, never been serviced and only started leaking recently. If I find someone will I have to post and collect through an rfd or can it go through a normal courier both ways? Anyone on here service bsa rifles? I've emailed bsa and a couple of local shops but heard nothing so far.

I posted a month or so about the rats around my compost bin, caught one and not seen anymore so I'm hoping I've sorted them. Also had a couple of grey squirrels and a few unintended mice. How rare is 2 mice in one trap? The trap was baited with peanut butter on the roof of the tunnel which explains the way they were caught. What is considered a good clean catch with a fenn? Around the neck or the chest maybe?

I'm in Kent, I'll go £2.50 if you'll deliver??
-
That was back in 2020 though wasn't it? They still selling them at that price?
-
Thanks all, I've ordered off of fourteen acre, not the cheapest but I didn't want to end up with Chinese copies.
-
Cheers mate, ordered.
-
Can anyone tell me the cheapest place to get genuine mk4 fenn traps? Only looking for 2 or 3, got rats around my compost bins.

Yeah the covers terrible in kent, had a couple of good frosts but the nettles aren't affected.
-
It's a shame, I've never been into big numbers, happy to take enough for the table and my animals but this was a shockingly bad day, walked miles and worked bloody hard for 4 rabbits. I'll have a look at another couple of local spots and if its as bad I'll leave them alone I think give them a chance to recover.

Is anyone still using this forum?

First day out of the season a couple of weeks ago struggling to find a few rabbits, spoke to a couple of other hunters that are saying the same. Do we have VHD in kent? This is the lowest I've seen the rabbit population for 25 years.

I've just ordered one, I notice most people using single theraband on these, I usually use 20mm tapered to 15mm double bands for 1/2 steel. Are these catapults strong enough for double theraband?
-
Cheers Mr Wilkes, when you say short range are they ok out to about 20yds? I've just been smashing cans at about 10yds with them so far.
-
I've started using hex nuts instead of 1/2 steel, I'm finding them more accurate I think its probably because of better release. Cheapest I've seen them online so far is toolstation £2.26 for 100, is there anywhere cheaper? Anyone fill them with lead or is it not worth the bother?

Couple more stick questions.
pie-eater replied to pie-eater's topic in Countryside Skills, Craft & DIY
Great thanks sindasox, I see they're not to expensive to buy either. -
Ok, what is the point of collars on sticks? I assume it's to hide a bad fit between an antler and the top of the stick? I've seen a few sticks that had a white piece in between the antler and the top of the stick, what material is this? Only made 1 very basic stick so far just a hazel stick with a thumb groove, brass ferrule and finished with a boiled linseed and beeswax mix, so I'm not to clued up yet.

I've got a single poachers box that I bought on ebay years ago, looks identical to the one on gone to grounds site. Very solid comfortable box, good for a big hob or a couple of small Jill's.
-
That was what I was going to say, mine have had it twice over the years, look around the ferrets genitals and butthole, if there's orange stuff there it could well be harvest mites. Edited to say I used beaphur for small animals and it cleared it up both times.
