New gun in the quiver. 90 cm Rob Allen

  • I wanted a small gun for my brother to use and as a crevice tool and since I had really enjoyed using Armondo's 90cm when we dove a few weeks ago I was asking around for one. ..... Mike at Florida Freedivers basically gave me the barrel and handle to this gun, I had Jeff's muzzle ready to go and made the bands from some mori rubber John H was gracious enough to give me to try.



    I made the shock cord and i think i made the first loop too long...can anyone think of any real risks that this might pose?


    I will be using a way too long shaft (150cm) 6.5 one for now but eventuallyI will be using Ben's 110cm shaft for a Hau length overhang.








    Mike threw a new cassette into the handle and it has a nifty resetting line release that retreats into the handle and will not drop without a shaft in the mech.






    the reflective tape is an experiment...



    I will update the thread as I get some use ......i have a feeling this will be a great platform for theTinMan camera mount as it is considerably more maneuverable and will not suffer as much as the 120 from additional drag

    i like to spear fish

  • nice man! I like the line release mechanism... is that a new addition on the the RA's?


    Yeah, ss sear and new line release are the changes I know of. I am sure Hau or others could chime in on other changes.



    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I just need to get it bloody <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    With all that good "mojo" on it, I'm sure you'll do quite well:) I had a hard time going to longer guns for quite a while. I just never seemed to need one. Did quite well with a 50" for so long...now i'm stuck on a 130cm:rolleyes: Don't really want to shoot anything bigger or smaller

  • I've all but retired my aresenal of wood guns. These days it's either 3-prong for recreational dives or Rob Allen 120 for competitions. I recon my RA can take down 98% of anything I will run into.
