surely you don't need something that big to hunt Bovine!?!?!?!


- why you could walk up to them and hit them unconsious with the but if you put your mind to it!

btw - I love the shiny green!

Well it's certainly got the cows looking worried

For me, so long as you are not trying to perform authentic primative crafts then any tool is valid.

And it is a very nice looking gun too.

Not into guns myself, but it looks like it will bring down those moose lurking around here with ease.

Or are you going to Africa on some elephant hunting?

If an alloy of 20 high rockwell tempered amalgamated metals is a valid bushcraft tool, then why shouldn't a rifle (which, incidentally, was invented CENTURIES before the fire steel) be a valid bushcraft tool?

BTW, nice colour........

(actually, I do like it... )

Cor, nice stock. Not something I'd choose but nice to look at.
Come on then, more details!

Nice gun, excelent oll for the job, untill you run out of bullets, then you could use it as a club

 

[elma]

lovely piece of kit want one

I'm just trying to think if there's anything that isn't a valid bushcraft tool. There probably is, but I'm struggling to nail things down. Maybe a bow tie?

So the gun is fine (green or not), if it's used correctly.

The steel they put in those is usually pretty good. I'm betting you could melt that down and make a proper knife of it.

Now this here is what ya call a bushcraft gun...

If it was good enough for Calvin Rutstrum, it's good enough for me.

Nice bit of kit but could it be repaired in the field using an axe, knife and anything else carried in a pack. I suppose a small element of bushcraft / survival is the ability to sustain a comfortable existence with the tools available to you.

I`d still love to have one but I don`t think my shoulders are built for it.

Right, but surely not until you change that blue rope for one of a pleasing green!!! :yelrotflm

Happy hunts!

As others have said, pretty much anything is a valid bushcraft tool...

However, it seems to me that the definitive bushcraft gun would be a black powder weapon, combined with the knowledge to make the powder (from natural sources) and smelt lead. Not that I know anything much about guns...

Yes, but that would make it a survival tool, not a bushcraft tool, and we can't have that. :twak:

Very nice Hoodoo.
That's a nice double rifle.
What are the calibres? 22LR and 38/357 ?

I thought about getting an underlever in 45-70 because .410 cases fit as well. Best of both worlds?????

22 rifle and 410 shotgun. Great for small game.

be careful how much you talk about firearms on the forum guys, give a thought for those people who access the site from work and educational facility computers whose filter software bans access to any site mentioning firearms on its pages

to many mentions and that’s it, no access at all

unfortunate I know but until the general public residing within the united kingdom learns to recognise the difference between a tool and a weapon its the way it is.

Because of all the restrictions on firearms in the uk and the difficulty of getting FAC variations I've always fancied an air rifle that looks like an old black powder "squirrel gun".
You know like something Daniel Boone might have carried.

Just a real low tech but high quality underlever springer with old fashioned open sights and nice wooden stock - maybe some brass furniture with the safety operated by the hammer?

Anyone know if anybody makes something like that?

It would come close to my idea of a "woodswalking" gun in these crowded Islands anyway.

But how to enable this without talking about them in a sensible manner? Dunno.
