Anyone got a 76mm scorpion shell, then you wouldnt need to shorten it
I'll see what my mate has, shouldn't be hard to get a good one, projectile a little harder?
Gibo drives pass everyday joint venture?
Maca I'm happy to pay for shell if that helps.
I can't manage my way out of a paper bag at the moment but am happy to be family contact.

I'll check with Antique Arms
Got a nice brass shell 325mm high with neck of 70 mm no dings primer removed and filled with brass plug, it's a start to look at
Sounds good, when we have dimensions we can get @mucko to turn a projectile. Happy to help sort this out.
Brads grab us a nice pic of tobys tat
Great idea guys :thumbsup:
If you need a wooden base lemme know, happy to turn a nice piece of Rimu etc. Just need the base/rim diameter of the shell for the recess.
thats about 1.5L capacity that would be close to ideal.Quote:

Pity we didn't present him with it a few weeks ago, he would have been chuffed!:cool:
Any chance a knife could be put in with him so he'll never forget it - EVER AGAIN!!
me and the old man can sort something. how are we for volume. do i have to increase volume with projectile so toby will fit in. thinking of swagging the projectile into the case and threading the tip. i can catch up with you when ever just call me when your ready. i can start when ever.Quote:

Yip Monday, bloody Waikatos :yaeh am not durnk:
Bloody hell there are singe real good buggers on here! I haven't been in for a day and look how much has been planned.
Where do I chuck my hard earned to help cover the cost? @Gibo
Monday cool what time?
If you boy's still want it my shell here is 105mmx370mm. and is stamped 1966.
I think is is a standard artillery shell, should have plenty of capacity.
That would be about 2.7l capacity so ideal.Quote:

I dont think we need money guys. So far its at no cost. If tefarrari is keen on the etching we are sussed. I think money would just make it all hard. Its the thought that counts as we all know and its obvious what we all think of the manling. :)
I'll check this one out on Monday as its here in Taurange, will let you know once we've Sussed it out:thumbsup:Quote:

I can think of something that Toby loved drawing that you could make into trophy :thumbsup:
We might need a second shell then?
So something like the fastest person to gut a stag with a piece of barbed wire then . . .Quote:

If you guys run into any problems we can machine up the projectile and can help with any other work if needed.
