Should i go with the bits or the dunk for a rail barrel?

I think the bits are more cost effective than the dunks. It's easier to control the amount you need to use. :)

We have used both in our stock tanks and rain barrels and they both seem to work well. Although the dunks seem to last longer.

Yes. It can't hurt, but all those pesky mosquitoes will. I've seen larvae in the most obscure and protected of areas -- don't care how covered the container might be. These bits are easy, and they do seem to work... for about 3 years now. (My worry is that the local critters will eventually develop a resistance. But go for it now!)

I use bits because you can use a smaller amount. I put in about a tablespoon of bits in after the barrels fill and again every 10 days if not used. This is what my county AG suggested and it seems to work great.

I use the dunks for the barrel instead. This way if I'm using a lot of the water, none of the bits get stuck in the spigot. The bits can be useful if you need immediate kill of any larvae or eggs, but then switch to the dunks for long term use.

Either would work, but I think I would use the dunks for the larger amount of water.

Bits are used for a quick knock down of the mosquito larvae, but they do not have lasting power. The dunks take longer to start working, but they last for a full 30 days. The thing to do is use bits for a quick knockdown, and also put a dunk in there for long lasting (30 days) protection. After that just put in a new dunk every 30 days. If you don't have any bits you can also crumble up a dunk and throw it in there for the same effect as the bits.

Bits worked perfect for me because I had a small amount of standing water in each saucer under each of many indoor hanging plants. I used one tablespoon per saucer and that tableepoon has solved the problem for several months now.I don't recall, but I think the dunk is a bigger item than the bits and costs more. It may go better with a rain barrel. On the other hand, the individual bits spread over the water, remaining on the surface for some time before sinking, which gives good coverage, on the surface, above where the mosqitoes deposit eggs, and below where the larvae grow. And the container of bits, a table spoon at a time, lasts forever. You will have to consider and decide.Good luck Bits worked perfect for me because I had a small amount of standing water in each saucer under each of many indoor hanging plants.

The PM ones are nice. The 1/4-in bit from Wood River breaks routinely in hard maple, so buy two at a time. Other than that, it depends on how big your mortises are. The rule of thumb is 1/3 shoulder, 1/3 tenon, 1/3 shoulder, so 1/4" for 3/4" thick wood.I just used a PM 3/4" bit for a bed I'm making.

The bit brand doesn't matter, but you should ALWAYS use a piloted bit (one with a bearing) when using this or any other instrument like it. The pilot (bearing) rides in the guides to gauge the size and depth of the dovetail you're making. Use the bit provided on LOTS of scraps of wood, starting with something fairly soft like pine, then move on to harder woods to get a feel for how the thing works. The more practiced you are, the more confident you can become, but trust the bearing bits and let the tool guide you. Non-bearing bits will only lead to disaster.

the bi-pod will hold up...your question should be will my rail hold up. This bi-pod is top of the line for the price. GREAT Quality!

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

buy a set of sling swivel studs, for wood or for synthetic stock depending on what type of stock you are going to use this on. keep in mind, you only need the swivel studs since the sling comes with a good pair of mounts on it. id suggest uncle mikes brand, or there are others as well, i think grovtek? grovteck? makes them as well.

It requires only 3 grooves in pica tinned rail attachments. I would recommend a full length Troy arms so as to be able to place it as far forward as possible

I would NOT consider this a dunking system. It a great inexpensive hoop to shoot around on for kids. If you are going to be knocking down some reverse jams, I would recommend you spend a little more money. For what it is worth I would also recommend a square post for the dunkers. A square post has more resistance to deflection loads so it will provide more rigidity.

Yes, you could use a dunk for that, but I would recommend the mosuito bits version instead. Both dunks and bits constantly float on the surface and the bits are tiny enough to be virtually unnoticeable. The dunks are about 3" wide and about 1/2" thick. Either product has to be replaced monthly. Bits seem to work fastest per the instructions (results noticeale within 24 hours), but dunks definitely make a major improvement within a week. We use both, as we have both decorative fountains and large/small areas of standing rainwater on our property. Good luck!

Don't use that bit with this table. The table itself is excellent, but doesn't have enought mass to use that bit safely. Buy the table, but use a vertical profile panel raising bit instead. Much safer bit in all respects, with a cleaner cut and way less vibration.

Hmm I'm not 100% sure that it's the same productnthough I seem to remember when I was looking for them online that they had renamed the product from bits to dunks? I found this though which says that it's the same product but the 'dunks' just refers to the fact that it comes in slightly larger pieces. http://www.mosquitoreviews.com/mosquito-dunks-bits.html Hope this helps!

A Drill Bit is included, why? I have no idea.I was able to install mine using the allen wrench (pictured), on my Russian SKS and placed the rails on its Tapco replacement stock.

Mount it to anything if you have the ability to establish a rail. A competent gunsmith with a lathe might be able to help. Good luck!

It depends on the type of rail you have, this one is for a dove tail rail (not a picanini)

I think relatively easily with the correct bit, also would depend on the lumber. I have the router fence attachment and also a rockler sub base which means you can use guide bushings, however the standard base won't take bushing that I know of.

Id recommend going with a surefire or maglite xl 100 or others in that group. 1 inc diameter goes perfect on almost all rails

I would use a bolt and nut to secure the rail to a piece of wood. Most heavy duty road cases use this method. Idea wood is mostly particle board, you'll have a difficult time getting a wood screw to work with it.
