Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 What's the stuff to use for squirrels,rats etc and where to get it? All I see for sale is the usual offerings from Barnett. Is it worth moulding your own? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonnie bravo 572 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Another one for ebay. The 9.5mm steel should be enough I would have thought, works on rabbits! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hex nuts or eBay, only buy them packs if you are absolutely desperate lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Are hex nuts accurate compared to ball bearings or lead balls? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie bravo 572 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Had ago with some a few nights a go. More accurate than I expected, but the wind does push them about a bit more. Not as accurate as bearings IMO, still useful enough though. Cheap and easy to get hold of. They don't look quite so suspicious either lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Looks like a good plan, are those moulds easy enough to use with regard to pouring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Easy enough to use but mind your pinkies as they get a tad warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Easy enough to use but mind your pinkies as they get a tad warm. A pair of leather gloves and a pair of these make life much easier.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MARKET-STALL-SPRING-CLAMPS-LARGE-METAL-HEAVY-DUTY-CLIPS-for-Tarpaulin-Sheet-/121411317829?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item1c44adb045 I was using G clamps before, what a pain in the sphincter that was. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
