Yes, permit can be speared in Federal waters. Not sure about pompano though.

These must be the Asegai handles. First time I hear the model name, I wonder what it means.
-
Is this the Beuchat Marlin you speak of? Is the line release held open by the shaft pressing on a tab in the track?
-
Thanks for sharing Oto. You should get a digital camera with an underwater housing.

Frank, out of the pipe guns you listed which was your favorite and why?
-

Please answer as many of the questions as you can, if you just say which is your favorite would be good too.
1. Which is your favorite eurogun handle?
2. Which other eurogun handles have you tried?
3. What do you like about your favorite?
4. If there's something missing that would make it absolutely perfect what would it be? -
You're welcome Pucho. Whatever you adapt it to, if it turns out nice please post a pic.

Just pay actual shipping, or pick up in Ft. Lauderdale.

4. Wenoka squeeze knife sheath.
5. Speargun muzzle.

Check out the nice judo throw in this vid. Notice how the bigger bear shifted his base to the right to gain leverage over the other.

In the end though the smaller bear used jiu jitsu to win the fight.

Very nice catch Harry, good story. I have the same cold but opted not to go diving.

How do you figure it could be the wishbones? They have no power that close to the muzzle. Looks to me like the tab hit the right side, gouged a piece of delrin out, then that piece was scraped along damaging the left side. Who knows.. Can you salvage the muzzle?

I'm curious to see if these blades are machined, which would be obvious seeing the bottom side. But I do not sell these blades either way. If they are Matrix/Waterway the surface looks different than when I used to sell them, maybe it's an improvement. I'd still appreciate a pic to know for sure. And also please tell me if these blades are straight before you put them in the footpockets.

We use that for its original intended purpose
All that's getting too complicated for me. I'll try to use the gun as it is, floating with the shaft in. If that turns out to be a problem my next step will be to put all the ballast in the back of the tube. If I don't like that either then I'll just fill it with syntactic and see what happens. Thanks for the help everybody.

Ha, there are no friends here with tire weights. Every tire shop I went to is already collecting the scrap weights for someone that pays them. What's Hawaiian tropic?
-
Very nice Larry.
-
The barrel is too bouyant and the gun floats with the shaft in. I can only add ballast in the front and back ahead of the plugs. I don't like how the gun feels like that, I want the weight balanced through the length of the gun.
-
Don, it's plugged.

Will it float the carbon tube, muzzle, bands, handle, and trigger mech?
That all depends on the geometry, but most of the time you would need some wood around it somewhere. One of Chad's signature "hot dog buns", or a hybrid arrangement.
The carbon fiber tube that I made for my hybrid uses the block material, not the Polywood. The tube is 1-3/8" in diameter, with 1/8" thick walls, and it floats with a little room to spare. My Delrin muzzle adds little weight, as does my delrin handle. But an aluminum handle would be heavier. Same thing with the trigger mech. The neptoncis reelf is relatively light in weight, compared to the Kitto M7, for example.
I have an excel spreadsheet that I use to plan out a gun before I make the first cut. It's not perfect, but it will tell me if I have a major problem with total buoyancy. The biggest problem with a thin cross section is usually balance (nose heavy).
Jeff, I need to know for sure whether it will float this gun without the shaft. How can I figure it out beforehand?
