Thanks Core, Toledo. I believe the Tiger grouper is known to be ciguato.

Suggestions and corrections are welcome. I will then add them to the first post.

Bonací is like a generic name for grouper no?

Lets try to restrict it to fish we may actually get spearfishing. No point listing very deep water species, the list will get too long to reference conveniently.

This first post is updated from all subsequent posts discussing the correct fish names. Feel free to suggest corrections or additions.

The smiley looks great in your sig hau

Congrats Core and Bill, the gun looks great.

Thanks for the pics and detailed explanation Bill. The gun turned out beautiful.

To make sure that I understand correctly; If I was using the 1/4" version and left 1/16" between the hole and the mech and 1/16" between the hole and the side of the stock then I'd need a total of 6/16" of wood on the side of the mech right?

I just measured my stocks. This is exactly what I have on either side of the Reef mech, 6/16". Those stocks are the max width that I'd want a gun. I still don't know how this would work with the 1/2" round over. If there was a 1/4" version would you attempt to install it if you were in my place?

What's the minimum distance that the center of the hole could be from the mech wall?

Jeff, any chance of reducing the diameter? Starting with the screw I suppose. Can the threading be shallower as on the screw/bolt type of deal that uses a hex key? Maybe not as it has to keep the sleeve tight against the wood.

Do you straighten out the spring ends or do they come like that?

Very nice pics thanks.

I think the washer may be necessary so that when the screw is tightened the smaller and of the sleeve doesn't start to set too deep into the wood?

The only flaw with this system is the diameter. I prefer slimmer stocks and don't think I have enough room to install that. Tin Man, can you dream up a solution for that? Is it possible to reduce the diameter of all the components?

Thanks. I have a few more questions.

1. Must the system be installed from the top due to the direction the spring is coiled?
2. Is there a way to install from the bottom?
3. Why is the washer necessary?
4. Does the length of the sleeve have to match this particular trigger mech? I mean does the bottom end of the sleeve have to touch the bottom of the line release slot in the stock and the top be just flush with the top of the stock.

When I first got him he put his paws on the kitchen counter a few times but I always caught it and corrected him. He hasn't done it in a few months. I guess the fish was too much temptation as he's gotten used to eating them since and it was time for a refresher lesson.

On the contrary, he should've learned his lesson and I will keep leaving fish in the sink as I always have. If the correction wasn't enough next time I'll rig it with a rat trap.

Actually I put it out to thaw before going to sleep and my dog grabbed it out of the kitchen sink. All there was left is the head.

I checked my snapper and it clearly had an arrow shaped tooth patch so it was a mangrove. I'm looking forward to checking the patch on a Cubera.

Quote from Wood Guy

If you look at the second and third pictures you can see that the shoulder is now long enough to contain the spring and still have room for the sleeve

Do you mean room for the tab?

I'm still not getting all this. Is the tab sitting on the sleeve or the screw? Could you please post a couple of pics, one of all the components disassembled but inline as they would be assembled and another picture of the whole thing clearly put together? Thanks.

Quote from Wood Guy

Tin Man brought most of the stuff and all of the know how we needed to build and install the auto resetting line release he developed.

The release consists of the tab that holds the line, a torsion spring, a sleeve that holds the spring, and the screw that holds the assembly in place.

I had started making the sleeve out of 5/16" ss rod earlier, so I finished making the sleeve on the lathe. I cut the shoulder first, then bored a hole for the screw, then bored the countersink for the flathead screw.

Then we cut a tiny slit in the sleeve to hold the spring.

Next I made the shooting line tab out of a piece of 1/8" ss plate that Tin Man had brought. He designed it on autocad to match the trigger mech, then I drilled the hole for the sleeve, a .030" hole for the spring, and cut it to shape. Then I sanded it smooth and rounded the edges on a belt sander.

Then I drilled a 5/16" hole in the gun down to the line release slot, then followed that with the pilot hole for the screw.

Next we trimmed the length of the spring ends and installed the assembly. First, we put the tab in the slot with a washer under it. Then we inserted the sleeve with the spring on it. The end of the spring needs to be in the small hole in the tab, and the other end needs to be in the slot. Then the screw goes in partway while the tiny slot in the sleeve is used to turn the sleeve and preload the torsion spring. Then the screw is tightened to hold the sleeve and spring in the pre-loaded position, and if we've done everything right we're good to go. We tried it with a shaft- perfect! A little more teak oil, Alvin, and your gun is good to go!

Tomorrow, I'll install the "funky handle" and the gun is ready to rig out and kill some grouper. The weather forcast calls for clearing weather for the next 3 days starting tomorrow, Alvin. I think your luck has run out!

I thought it would be good for this to have its own thread for easy reference and because I have some questions. Bill or Jeff, does the tab sit on the sleeve or on the screw? In this picture it appears to sit on the sleeve but there's no room for the spring.

Yeah, the characters on SB would make my creative juices flow.

a couple of weeks ago i saw the cartoon 'Bolt' with my son , it was a very good movie, funny .

Just saw it, great movie. You know I like animated films right?

Quote from av001

i didnt like it either. i remember it about some kid who has a pussy of a dad.

check out "wanted" with angelina jolie. even if you dont like it she is good to look at.

Started watching Wanted but couldn't get past the first half hour. It started out great but I can't digest the Hollywood tough woman thing with all the cliches that go along with it. Same as with the Tumb Raider movies.
