Rep Power: 0 ![]() ![]() | ![]() can anyone tell me how to replace the surgical rubber and attach it to the leather strap? Attachment to the steel frame is the easy part. I found replacements online already attached to the leather but i'm sure importing might cause issues.

If you insist on doing it the way it is in the pic, you'll have to get some vulcanizing glue to glue the fold over together. |

Rep Power: 25 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Slingshots aren't illegal, at least not in NSW. Given that crossbows are legal in QLD, VIC and NT, I doubt they are there too. You can buy the complete replacement rubber with the pouch attachment in any of your local gun shops. You can also import the rubbers no issues at all. They're not illegal. BUT .. the slingshot shown in the picture is illegal in NSW. This slingshot is called a "hunting slingshot". What makes it illegal is the arm brace. A normal slingshot that you can buy from any gun shop without a license does not have the arm brace. Not that some people make up their own brace as a retrofit. |

What stops it just slipping off ? (I am looking at the OP picture) I haven't seen one in real life. I might just buy the rubber tube, and try to make the arms myself. | |

That I can personally confirm ![]() ggibson , click on the thanks button on the lower right hand side of the post. |

I didn't realise, that just by dismantling and putting in the one parcel, made it legal. This site seems to have a special order code, for sling shots to Australia. I don't know if they get through NSW customs though. Last edited by ggibson; 20-06-09 at 12:17 PM. Reason: formatting | |
