Sure. 

I'd recommend that you use flying squirrels, otherwise you have to outfit them with parachutes.  Parachutes make 'em tough to load.

We had a problem with flying squirrels invading our kitchen at an Anglican (Episcopalian) kid's camp quite a number of years ago,.  I tried to reduce their numbers in the 'Chuckwagon' (dining hall) using my sinew backed horse bow and broad head arrows, but had no success at all.  The rafters to this day are punctuated with a nice collection of arrows!  That speaks volumes for the squirrels' agility in contest with a several times Canadian 3D champion!

Well Taylor that result was a foregone conclusion as you broke rule #1.
Never bring a sinew backed horse bow to a gun fight!

I built a ferguson rifle from their parts and am highly satisfied.  I got the lock already completed and am very satisfied with it as well.  I have lusted after one since 1969 and finally scratched it off my bucket list.  It shoots well and I couldn`t be happier.  I know they take a lot of heat, but my experiences with them have all been positive.  They are pretty much the only source for what they sell and I for one am glad they are there.  wormey

Thanks Wormey, how about a couple of pictures? Would love to see the finished product, especially with a little age and patina on it.

I would post pics of the one I built, but after the pics of Taylor's and Dave's rifles, it would be like Rosie O'Donnell showing up at the Miss Universe Pageant!   ;D

Pouring bleach in your eyes will remove that horrific image.

Image burned in to deeply! It's the whole swim suit competition thing. Some things you just can't unsee. Can we agree as gentlemen never to utter that insidious creatures name again? Thanks.

Mine is a nice gun and I love it, but I`m not about to post pictures of her here next to the craftsmen on this site!  It would be like posting a picture of a Wyllis Jeep on the Rolls Royce web site.  Let`s just say I`m proud of her, love  to shoot her, and that`s all that matters. :D
