Hunting Solutions 3 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) If the MK1 unit could be cloned, designed and built in the UK, would there be a market for it? Retail price would be sub £100. Thinking of getting some made. Edited April 16, 2013 by Hunting Solutions Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 How would you get around the patent? And how much below £100 are we talking? The new ones are £160 with a collar. Quote Link to post
Hunting Solutions 3 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Patent not a problem at this stage mate. Also not sur of the final price as it will depend on volume, but if there is enough interest, we will get it done. Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Theres always a few on Ebay, they all make decent money, and all are sold, Says it all. 1 Quote Link to post
talt 878 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I would be up for one and chuck this mk3 in the shed and forget about it. If you do go ahead maybe you could sort out the dial and make it stronger, and numbers that dont rub off.Best of luck if you go for it, i cant see there being a problem with shifting them.
