Jeff, that's how straight shaft builds his resetting line release going back a few years. Nice to see it here in your detailed pics as I recently asked him for the same, thanks for posting. It's another option although like you I prefer when it's all tucked out of sight.
Looks nice I will be ordering one this week for a Blue water gun I am finishing.

Hi Tin Man how hard is to install the new release?
Thanks
Pucho
Pucho - That's not my gun in the pics. Kitto sent me those photos just to show what the spring loaded release looks like. Based on what I can see, I don't think that his spring loaded release would be difficult to install. But I kind of like my torsion spring release, so that's what I will probably use.
The mechanism itself takes just a little more care to install because of the way it is constructed from a bent piece of sheet steel. It tends to be just a little bit thicker on top. Once you get the trigger pocket the right width for the majority of the housing, you will have to open up the top of the pocket slightly, especially if recessing the mechanism deep enough for an enclosed track. It's just a tiny bit, though. Probably around 1/32". The picture below from Kitto's website sort of shows how the top is just a hair wider.
Looks good. Pucho ask straight shaft/Julio, he's been doing the recessed spring for a while.
Would be nice if either Pucho and Julio show us their creations...
Kitto t.m. are superb. I wonder why his guns are not that popular compared with others in the same price range and less features and capabilities. An unfinished model is far better than any comercial gun around and better than most "custom" guns too. I guess that got to do with advertising. I had my self a Kitto gun, but i am not of the Blue water type, so i had to let it go ...
Not to knock the guy(I know Kitto makes great stuff) but the finish in Jeffs pic looks pretty crappy. I don't like that screw spring thing sticking out the side. Looks more like a quick fix than a permanent finished product. Sorry if I offend.
Kitto guns are not pretty from the pics I've seen. That muzzle that he likes to use is one of the ugliest designs for a speargun IMO. But somehow I'm sure the guns do their job very well.
El cabrón me robó la idea!
It's all good. At least I know he's been checking out my guns as well.;)

Not only that but he also has one of the ugliest manicures I've seen:D.
Thinking about it...I shouldn't talk. I do my nails on the grinding wheel.:laughing3:
I'll agree with your assessment of the stock in the pics. I'll only add that I know nothing else about the gun. Could just be an old beater that he was using to test out the design.
I agree, he was probably just dry fitting everything on the gun and then later finished it. I hope anyways.
