If anyone followed this thread over on SB -
Broken Mako Predator Pro Gen 1 Handle - Spearboard bubble blowers drama forum
I had the same thing happen to my 1st gen mako predator pro 110 when i was out with nate over the holiday weekend. I really beat my gear up bad( just ask nate) but i was a little frustrated. I ended up getting the gun replaced, but me and nate cut down the barrel of the broken gun into a 90 cm gun and i happened to put the info up on how i did it on that particular thread. This showed up in my inbox, out of a bit of respect i removed names and personal info as im not trying to incite drama, just voicing my frustrations

Dano and I saw your post about the mako gun break and replacement. I think Dano would prefer that you not "tell everyone" that they can expect a completely new gun if their handle breaks.
He also expressed some concern about you getting a brand new gun (an upgraded Predataror 2) which will not break and then publicize photos etc.. of your efforts to rig the broken gun back together with epoxy putty snf dowles etc.
I think at the very least, there is a safety concern about other people trying to copy the idea of cobbling a gun togeher from broken parts....
Thanks for your consideration. If you have any questions, give me a call
I own alot of mako stuff, it works for me aside from that gun breaking. i just found it stupid that i couldnt share a DIY of turning a broken gun into a working one.
im the last person to start any trouble or drama. I dont want any part of it, i just like to dive and kill fish and talk to people who share my same interest. just putting that out there.
