I hear what your saying deye223.

Asked a guy at a Queensland gun shop "Can I see that rifle over there?"

He said yep, You got a gun licence?

Sure have I said and handed over my NZ licence.

He said sorry mate I can't give it to you to hold, you'll just have to look at it from there.

Pretty sad really.

yep that ain't the worst of it either

try and defend yourself and you get charged

get your guns stolen get charged yep what a system charge the victim

Yeah the first one rings true here too mate, don't you worry.

oh well on a brighter note i pulled it apart and painted it looks good too.

$140 for the drum if you made it out of ordinary down pipe that would be around $50 - $60

now the base
MOTOR........$95 Electric Motor Single Phase 240V 0 25KW 1 3HP 1400rpm | eBay
RHS...............$25
SHAFT...........$17 THIS IS BRITE STEEL
BEARINGS.....$36
PULLEYS........$35
NUT&BOLTS..$8
V BELT...........$12

TOTAL...........$228 and the other total with 10lb of pins and my drum ready to spin $498 but with ordinary down pipe $408

now considering the thumler (15lb) and the rebel 17 (17) are both around $520 to your door and there to bloody small

i think this is the way to go mine (45lb)

(..) = weight capacity including water

and the pic is whats inside the drum



cheers D

glen the ID is 142mm and the OD is 160mm it's pvc presure pipe and a lot thicker than down pipe


cheers D
