I found 100 lead balls 10mm for 14 euro's.

They're heavy and...soft.

wich is actually a good thing.

They pack a bigger punch and deliver their energy to the target.
Less likely to ricochet back in my face.I'll be launching them at relatively close range.

Wich would actually be a bad thing...

despite the possibility if me becoming...less ugly because of it...
:D

Over distance 1" steel sounds sweet though.
You could possible retreive them and use 'em again.

hmmm..

I have a proposition...since I need all the cash I can get at the moment and am unable to spend any on spudding...


:cry:

And the fact that I just know "Old Shatterhand" will just be desintegrating over the next couple of years from neglect...

To whom ever is able to get me a box of 10mm leadballs and a 1meter section of 14mm ( 2mm wall thickness) hydraulic tube.....

You can come and pick up Old Shat..( sending it might be a problem).if you are also willing to give her some well deserved polishing and a good ( sensible!!!)home...
Over 18 only.

(Both are a bit damp from the cold)

Do you have any idea how much you could sell that for! You could get quite a bit of cash...

Not legally.
I can't advertise it.

I did put it out in a yardsale once and a LOT of people where interested.
One of them seriously considered my asking price of 160 euro.
He stood there for 5 minutes...and then he said he had too many guns already.
Reluctantly he walked off eventually, still stopping to look back...

I'd rather give it to a fellow spudder that will treasure it for what it is...in return for a fairly small favour..

I'd like for it to stay part of this website.

Edit:
I live pretty close to Belgium...I might have to look into their laws when it comes to shipping it..
My wife got smart... :D
I could disasemble it and ship it in parts...

That is if anyone puts up a decent/better offer..




:roll:

That's an insult, a custom big bore like the ones you make is worth far, far more than that!

You pay more than that for a shitty Gamo...

Don´t sell it, you made it, it should has very special meanings. Unless you really need the money, I wouldn´t sell something this nice!

I wouldn't either! Unless, of course, I got an offer for like 1000 bucks. :D

I don't know if that's what you'd call homemade...

but I guess his roommates are Benjamin Tyler Henry, John Browning, Sam Colt, Horace Smith and Dan Wesson...

Pfff..
