Grey squirrels invasive to the Island? I had no idea...Terminate, with extreme prejudice.
They have been working their way up the Island from Victoria.We have to get them before they start to chew some North Island house wiring.

Link?
The only ones I could find on ebay were half inch long which would be too short? Can you confirm your length and provide a pic?

Looks like a fat o-ring might fill that gap and possibly help retain the thread protector.

I have a M6 Scout .22/410 and I think it is a great choice for a backpack rifle. I like the little badger, but I really like having the option of the .410 the Scout offers.
I bet many of us Chiappa LB owners would love a Springfield M6 Scout, but they are just too pricey now.

It's true. IIRC it was some lonely Scotsman pining for the fjords and highlands who 'introduced' them.
Two years ago we were nearly overrun by them. We had the Scots Greys (aka "Old Grumblers" (size of housecats) and the smaller, more agile "Black Rangers". It was war. By summer's end I'd pegged off 23 of the blighters. Finally I murdered their Queen by placing bait out in the meadow just at the treeline. I didn't have long to wait--one 38g .22LR just behind the ear and it was lights out for her. I felt kind of bad because she was
such a fetching young thing, but that was key to our victory. No more came after that, despite my friends warnings about how "Nature abhors a vacuum", and so on.
The expected Spring Offensive never materialized in 2016.

My weapon of choice has been my old Weirhauch HW80 air rifle.With 12 grain .177 pellets [900fps] ,They die instantly with head shots at up to 30 -40 meters.I also trained my Manx cat[best cats for rats] to hunt them.She chased them to no avail.I showed her to hide on their foraging trail and she killed scores.Some were almost as big as her.She ate them all except for the tail.We found her stash of grey tails [semi buried]one day and it was quite heap......Nice to know someone else is shooting these Grey Tree rats, as well, here on the Island.
