That looks like one of your pistols Pauly. Was it the inspiration for your builds? Differnt bolt system. |

Are those round balls or pellets from the top? ------------- Walk quietly, but carry a big stick. |

This was made by one of a couple of people a few years ago, They did these big bore pistols, Hidayat has shot sheep and from memory cattle with this beast of a pistol. The materials that are avaialable to make these tend to make them look similar, but as you notice the breech is quite different. Yes, he was shooting round balls through that Pete. I did make him the grips though. |

Very interesting! Where might a person be able to acquire such a pcp pistol? I’m thinking for euthanasing trapped animals, so it wouldn’t need to be sheep or cow power, but enough to deal with a possum or feral cat. I used to use a crossman co2 powered .22 pistol, it was fine for rats, hedgehogs, ferrets, and possums, but its power was marginal for feral cats. Also I hate the idea of single use disposable co2 cartridges, which invariably leak over the few days inbetween needing to use the pistol. A full size pcp rifle does the job, but a pistol would be much easier to carry around. ------------- Walk quietly, but carry a big stick. |

From memory it was a Wingman build? I remember it from the other forum, pretty accurate with round balls, and plenty of power. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

Pete, That's interesting you finding cats are hard to kill like possums are. Years ago we had a mad cat woman - she was on the telly - and I ended up trapping some cats and really surprised how a slug in the ear at point blank range sometimes did not do the trick the first time. It turned what I thought was a routine dispatch into a very unpleasant job. Do cats have thick skulls? |

| I had a similar experience. I had to control cats around a cool store. I would trap them then dispatch them with my Maruader pistol 10 fpe in 22. I even shot one at about 15m between the eyes and it dropped, but there was one cat that at point blank where the pellet stuck in the back of his skull, I could see it there. Didn't kill it, and needed a second to the side of it's head. That made me ensure I had more power for the rest. |

Whenever I get a wild cat or possum in my cage trap, I use an old Crosman 1322 pump-up .22 pistol to kill them in the head at point blank range.
