What are good bands to put on the new style milbro? Thanks

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

You can use skinny tubes with the WASP plugs, or flatbands with the plastic plugs, or you weld paracord loops. All in Slingshot World magazine and on the website..have a clicky on the links in the description.

....wish I still had mine. I gave it to a next door neighbour about 50 years ago. Damn!

[@notsobadkarma]

i am 60 years old now and when i was 11 year old i actually got 50p a week pocket money for doing jobs around the house etc , and i actually bought one of the originals , unfortunately i was young and stupid and got it taken off me by my old man cos i put a marble through a neighbours window had loads of fun with it up to that point , i recently got back into catty,s and keep hm,ing and arhh,ing about buying a copy , best ten bob i ever spent imo

[@psychedelicember]

What plugs are you using on the brass one with green bands? Can you make a video about them?

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

They are a plug made for tubes by WASP. Available on their website.

@@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV thanks!

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

Well, I reckon I am now pretty well informed to be able to tell exactly. The NEW Chinese die casting can clearly be seen to have a 'generation loss' of reproduction detail. Like a BMW Mini... 'it's still a real Milbro'. It just means some fans will have a difference of opinion.

[@jjboswell5043]

The square bands on the newer reproduction frame are dangerously bad. I went for a mooch with my new one and shots were flying off in all directions anyone standing to my side was at more risk of taking a hit than any potential supper, then the polycord loosened at the pouch. Lucky I always carry some repair essentials in with me BBs. Went straight back and ordered some silicone plugs to fit OTT theraband

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

I am on record as saying they are not fit for purpose and added my own suspicion that this was to limit litigation!

[@habsishpeeweed6562]

Yes mine definitely is. Had it for over 50 years.

[@lloveAphmau]

Good video and subject, so many chancers on the groups either insulting people's intelligence or hoping to rip new people off

[@hogansonscastings]

Very informative honest and true to the point

[@marfoo2775]

I had no idea these existed.. a whole new world 😄

[@johnjgb6178]

My one has on the back 32891-45. Is this a real original?

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

the number is reproduced with the rest... this aughta equip you to be able to tell.. patina versus detail

[@jpwphotographicstudio3891]

Got one of the repros recently scrapped the band's it came with straight away and fitted T band gold set wrap and tuck method thin leather wrapped around handle whipped on and it's a cracker... For a tenner can't go wrong. Must find my original from the 70s though in my mum's loft I'm sure.😃

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

BANG on!

[@adrianwillmoth5013]

I thought I would never see one again a Warden thumb grip catapult it had round solid elastic and its rubber pouch was moulded to the elastic I guess its all rubber bought mine in 1968 or 1969 for 3 shillings and sixpence that's 17 1/2 pence in todays money took me weeks to save for it. No more tree forks, square rubber from woolworths ,and cutting up mum's old leather gloves.

[@canvandal4503]

Really great video! Good info!👊

[@Wolfcavexxx777]

I love this ones !And one Day i buy one !

[@knockholt69]

Help please!! Viewed this video with interest after finding my vintage Milbro 32891-45 catapult in an old box. I used this back in the late 1950's-60's. It is in great condition with the original rubber cords still in place. Could somebody give me an idea of value please.

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

If the wooden collets are in place - then it is a collectors' item and good for at least £30. If you have the carton, a lot more.... if just the frame, about £25.

[@knockholt69]

@@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV Thank you for your quick reply. I remember buying this new for 5 shillings, Wish I had kept the box !!

[@shannonjolliffe8966]

Make a deadshot replica

[@JR.w1]

good video thanks for this very helpful

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

Glad you liked it

[@TheGreatest1974]

Never liked these style catty’s. They used to have horrible square elastic on them, and you couldn’t hit a barn door with them. Modern flat band catty’s are a world apart from these. These should be in display cases as testament to how far catapults have evolved.

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

Read the magazine!! THEY OFTEN ARE!! I am on record agreeing with you!

[@dave1secondago]

nice collection , ill bet the newer ones are china made

[@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV]

You'd win the bet.
