No I didn't airgunant it was a old brass terrier bottle opener , the opener bit was on the front so I cut it off sanded it for a edge an painted it black to try an make it look like a patterdale but looks more like a westie haha , drilled a therad in an sunk it into the stick , I made it just under the shoulder but you don't hold it on top like the stag horn thumb ones that's why I put a cord grip on it so I imagen to just make it where ever he feels comfy holding it and I don't know wat supposed to be used for the bottom but I used a piece of copper pipe with a cap to stop the bottom splittin
