  1. Hi Guys

    I have been given this pistol from my father and i would like to get it operational again. Its a .177 junior and when i look for spare parts the piston seals are leather, we all know that leather doesnt last forever. I see it is supposed to have a breach seal also, this is missing i assume its meant to be rubber.  As a gamekeeper i catch a lot of grey squirrels and was hoping it would be powerful enough to kill the ones i catch in live cages.  

    Can i get a better piston washer?

  2. Some lovely pics from iworkwhippets.  I will have to show this thread to my Mum she has raced whippets for over 40 years. She had a lot of champions, even used to go coursing pre ban till she had to have her favorite bitch put down in the field after breaking both front legs in a ditch.

  3. Well guys i had no luck with the traps i tried carrot and apple but with no luck. The best method was sneaking in and putting the long net down then walking around the park with my spaniel. Also snaring the fence line they were coming through, we have myxy in the village and surrounding areas now so the numbers will decline even more. 

    Thanks for all your inputs, as i now have 8 cage traps im hoping to get some more trapping jobs in the near future.

  4. Hi guys

    I'm having no luck with the traps, i bait them with carrots but the rabbits wont enter, if i tip the carrots out they eat them!  No problems with two legged pests so far but i have take the precaution of having a security cable through them all.  Thought i may try a change of bait to some apple perhaps, any thoughts?  I think the grass is just too lush at present.
