How to make straps for Rifles/Mg's?

Another good source for various thickness lead wire is from sports shops that sell supplies for fly fishing - some of these supplies include fine lead wire for tying your own flies. Also lead foil for adding to the weight of golf clubs.
I also used to use the lead wrapper from a brand of ski wax (Swix).
Wine bottles used to have thin lead foil wrapped over the cork. Unfortunately, it’s been replaced with plastic for health reasons.

Yeah. Anyone who says they’re using lead foil from wine bottles these days is drinking some pretty vintage stuff. It hasn’t been used for about three decades.

Is it still used in Europe?

Ken,

The EU REACH directive severely restricts the use of lead and a long list of other hazardous substances in products sold in the EU.
