scott... yeah,, I bought mine in '61 (parents did not know about it for years) I also, have replaced the surgical tubing about three times.....The neighborhood that I grew up in would not sell lead balls or shot to minors so I just got ball bearings and the hardware store.. (was cheap too!!)... when I hunted doves & ravens I would heat the marbles in the oven and then drop them into cold water, that cracked them and when you shot at a bird at about 100 ft or so, the marble would frag in flight and still bring it down like a shotgun pellet...would not work on rabbits though, the damn things would just keep running... only the bearings would stop them..... any stories to tell?? I'm listening....
