Speaking of that I have before tried to imagine what will be the effect of the sharkfin tabs passing through my grip, or the shooting line getting wrapped around a finger and jerking it. In either case it has potential to be unpleasant.
Pitch pine speargun build

believe it or not ' well used trigger mech ' is one of the reasons why i wanted to make my own trigger , i can set the amount of play in the trigger housing to my preference , adjust trigger pull and easily service and replace parts as i see fit , i am not putting down the trigger manufactures but i would 'trust' a trigger that i made and tested myself more than one i bought , plus when i was looking at the 'best' spearguns available like Riffe i taught that the trigger mech was to weak even though i know Riffe has a great record .

By the same token anyone who's that much into it can disassemble a bought mechanism and make sure it's built to their satisfaction.
-
true
-
i do have a question though , in your experience are the trigger mechs of those 'plastic' guns like Cressi and Mares any weaker than the trigger mech available from companies like Neptronics or Riffe because i saw a plastic line release on a Hammer Head Evo . Just asking .
-
Weaker or poorly built?
A reef mech has less holding power than a tuna mech but I don't consider that "weaker" as it is designed for a lesser load.
The rob Allen cartridge for example has ss bits and is well made but I would not ever load three bands on it. -
ever had any failure of the plastic parts
-
Nope. Knock on wood
-
Yes plastic mechs are weaker in both aspects, holding power and durability.

yeh guys i just had a question , do any of you know the grade of stainless steel used for speargun shafts [ 316 , 302 , 303 ] etc. thanks.
-
410 is available?
-
I use heat treated 17/4 ph shafts, In the old days I made them from Maraging steel.
Cheers, Don

Ive taken everything apart from *mech and trigger assembly on all of my guns, wong, koah, the mako, and every other gn i have too. I took apart my pneumaitcs to rebuild and install dry barrel kits as well. Trigger mechs are usually 2-3 pieces and a spring. Very simple stuff. I have been taking things apart my entire life.And most importantly, putting them back together.. Between the rental and my store my life revolves around me fixing all types of things..*
OP I have good faith in you, you dont seem the type to skip on the details.*

thanks
-
and yes i can get 410 , he said he will order it with is next batch
-
hey guys i forgot to say that i tried to route the track on the pitch pine with a craftsman all in one cutter , which had a lot of play in its frame and damaged the pine blank so i may just do the first gun out of purple heart . i also have to buy a router looking at the Dewalt dw616 any suggestions .
-
The router is less impt than the table and jigs you use build those well and your guns will be solid
I would go with any brand you trust and the more hp, the less you will stress it over the use through its lifetime.
-
thanks , i am actually building the table now.
-
You should just build the router and get on with it
-
i got a good laugh from the last comment , but i do in fact buy some things .
