    Cheapskate

    These cost pennies, but do a fine job




    Dont buy the cheap Wickes ones, they are pony and snap easy.
    See you on 7th July

    nice solution.. might use that in the gun safes, screwing them to a lump of wood...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    The clips on the right in the photo are pony and snap. The ones on the left are tight but flex nicely and cost about £3 for 20 at Plumb city.

    That is a nice clean solution. What are they or do I go to my plumbers supply with a link to this useful thread?
    BTW, that is an envious collection, nice indeed.

    I have only just noticed this thread :, I have been frothing at the mouth ever since.
    What a lovely collection of vintage guns you have..
    It’s great to see that they are still being preserved for the future generations to enjoy.

    Excellent, great tip! I used soft tube covered screws, But this seems an even better/tidier solution. Ordered a million online from the UK, the Talons are not sold over here (yet )
    Collection: vintage air pistols & air rifles / vintage air gun accessories
    Facebook groups: vintage air guns 1. Webley, 2 BSA, 3. Haenel, 4. Weihrauch, 5. Diana
