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...
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...
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...
I could disasemble it and ship it in parts...
That is if anyone puts up a decent/better offer..

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.

Awww...
Could it be a supercharged version of
Walther's design?

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..

Brian, I honestly think your Old Shat have much more character...
