Quick question: Are the Riffe Competitor and Standard series butt pads interchangeable? By that, I mean do they have the same sized hole that fits over the stock?
My carbon fiber gun will be a hip loader, and I'm trying to figure out the butt end.
Are Riffe Standard and Competitor but pads interchangeable?

TinMan---I can't wait to see your new gun:clap2:
Will you be selling any?
[don't worry about the pad, u can cut it off just behind the handle for me to chest load
]Thanks TinMan and griswold for all you guys do to contribute to our sport and way of life

The butt pads for the standard and competitor models are different, but I don't know if they're interchangeable. IMO the Riffe competitor series butt pad is the best butt pad on the market. Whether it will match the carbon gun aesthetically is another question.

Something along these lines Hau. About 52-54" long overall, with a 1-1/2" square stock and enclosed track for a 5/16" or 9/32" shaft. It thins to just under 1" behind the handle, and the delrin muzzle may incorporate Dan's "keyhole" band holes. I realize that this design could be built in wood, but it's my first attempt at a lost wax gun, so I don't want to get too carried away with the design.

TinMan---
:hooray: :ymca: :stars6:
Just cut the stock off just behind that nice angled grip an I'll take two guns as soon as available.
Thank you JeffPS--For Sale; 3 POS RA spearguns; 1 110cm, 1 120 CF, 1 130cm RA celerberty gun:)

Nice drawing Jeff.
How many bands do you want this gun to have? If it's only two I suggest one slot. Unless you experiment first and make sure the bands indeed run well the way you have it drawn. Remember I never tried it like that.
Also keep in mind that mine ran well loaded on one tab. I believe they will also run well with 1st band to closest pin and 2nd band to further pin.
-
Dan---good point about using a band slot.
[Did I miss seeing the spike on the muzzle
]TinMan-- as the proud owner of several TinMan products in the past I have ultimate confidence in your ability.
I don't know of anyone who has more hours in the water using your products than me -
1. With a TinMan 2 hole spike muzzle;
55 1/4in from tip of the delron muzzle back to the furtherest part [above the web of your hand]
57in from the muzzle tip back to th furtherest part of the grip
edit--55in from the muzzle tip back to where the web of the shooters hand is on the grip2. According to FF, the best selling shaft diam is 7mm, with 7.5 the second best seller. [That is why I pressed RA so hard to develop a 7mm slip tube shaft]
Most California WSB spearos use 7mm diam also3. According to Austins, the standard shaft length is 40cm OVER the gun length. So a RA120 gun would have a 160cm shaft.

Tin Man, I'm sure the guns will shoot and look great.
Also I do think that the riffe butt pad is a great design and works perfect. The standard series ones are somewhat bigger and may look great with the carbon.
But an all black gun would be very cool with the flaired butt end. -
Jeff, there may be questions of "how to", "should I" and "is it cost effective", but with you and Gris, there is no question of "if I can"

Well said LB.

Thanks guys. Neither one of us is bright enough to know when it's time to give up.

Yup, even when "Tin Man" was "Tin Kid", it was pretty much the same way. I could tell you stories, but then, I'm sure Jeff would much prefer they be left unsaid!
