yeah, I figured I could try and file it or heat up a kinfe blade and melt it out of the slots. BUt I thought I would wait to see what Hogancastings had to say.
Hogancastings Milligan Small frame Slingshot
Well I just received the aluminum with black polyester coated replica of the Milligan Special small frame.It has a really nice thick black coating that feels plastic like and it has the exact shape of that great vintage slingshot that I like to shoot .However the coating seemed to fill in a bit more than I liked inside the band slots and so I cant get any decent thick bands to slide in when folded. I tried the 1/16" gum rubber which this sling originally came with and even tried the .050 latex but I just couldnt get it to squeeze in.Im willing to bet if I ordered the plain all aluminum one I wouldnt have this problem. I emailed Pete at Hogancasting and mentioned the problem and am awaiting their reply .Anyone else have this problem?

Junk Mail? I used your contact form as it was the only way to email you. You may want to check that out.The web site doesnt list your address either so I will need that to send it to.Those slits need to be 1/16" wide to accomodate the 1/16" gum rubber bands that I use in it.You can make them a touch deeper to 3/4" if you can.Thanks for helping out ---Corrado

WOW,is global warming slowing down !! OK, glad you got my message anyway.Was that "scraped" as in scraping out the coating in the slots or "scraped" as in thrown in the junk pile?
Very good. I thought you would be answering me thru personal email via the contact form? Is it not working?
Pete, did you mail my small Milligan ?
OK,the little Milligan just arrived today!! Looks great and the slots width is even and wider than before. I also noticed you had the slots made to almost 7/8" width. That is great too because now I could use a wider band than the originals 5/8" limitation.Cant wait to shoot this!! Excellent job and well taken care of my needs-thankyou.
