kesh, thanks for the vids. It looks so fun that I'm ready to hop in the car and drop in on you!

The eggs are a good idea, too, but the cell phone -- I guess it rang once too often.

Speaking of cases, you know that the old gangster movies like to show the goons packing in a violin case. I have looked for a suitable musical instrument case in pawn shops and junk shops, but with no luck. Hand guns can go into all sorts of things, but long guns are a problem.

kesh, that is a great link, thanks! I need to do some measuring. I had never thought of a guitar case, which should be widely available and could be used with a longer gun!

Excellent, thanks again! Great find!

I should hasten to add that this site has some nice information on the TT-33 (sometimes called the "Star" for the marking on the side), the CZ-52, and the CZ50/70. Also, there are some write-ups on Mosin Nagant, AK-47, and SKS rifles -- he has a nice little site here!

No hardrives yet. [emoji13] One was an HTC diamond phone which is now a souvenir of a day well spent.

Cotton buds dipped in bright food colouring. Piece of iron in front of buds to act as a shield with the heads peeping out about 1/2 inch (a piece of old cycle tube acts as a band to hold the buds).

Enjoy hitting them with my RWS at 15 mtrs. Ooooooohhh.......the satisfaction !!!! :D

Cool! I still like the metal one with the holes, though! I'd like one of those.

Yup the silhouette is huge fun cause the target holes are about 3/4 of an inch and shooting them at long ranges is fun. It does need some more fine tuning though, like spring on the back to help auto reset every time :)

Kshitij, Kesh, with that guitar case you need to wear white suits and fedoras and speak like Al Capone in a Sicilian / Italian accent! Like Robert de Niro in "The Untouchables" courtroom scene.
Cheers!
