Where did you get this terminology, are you sure it's called a ladder? I thought it was a two stage loader.

Before you go this route try a real loading bar, the kind that is light and collapses. Carrying those ropes around is a PITA.

What's the major supermarket chain in PR?

Maybe you know a little bit about fish too <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Marco, I found all your opinions with regards to gear to be solid and consider carefully when you have something to say. You shouldn't feel the need to be apologetic about disclosing some issues you have with gear from a particular manufacturer. The forum is supposed to be a place to benefit us first and then the manufacturer by using the forum as a resource to better their products. Your post on SB is indicative of how stifling a place SB is. You're most welcome to give a heads up with regards to gear here. BTW I had a similar experience with the RA shaft http://spearfishing.world/spea…e-with-american-guns.html

Jeff, stole your pics, here they are

Yep, I found out that western union money orders can be cashed at Publix.

G/L with the sale Pucho.

Tin, post a pic of it please or even better start a thread on your dad's stocks. I like looking at those delicious teak stocks. When I finish my gun I'll post a pic there.

Is balsa salt water resistant?

:dumb: I should've known better.. I'll catch you another time.

BTW one of the screws on your prototype is missing a head <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

cork
■noun
A buoyant, light brown substance obtained from the outer layer of the bark of the cork oak.

This would indicate to me that there's a limit on available size of a cork piece? I'm thinking of making a specific float out of it. Does anyone know its properties as far as workability with tools, specifically a hole saw? What's the biggest piece I could buy and where?

Is it even worth it or are there synthetic materials that will do the job better past the aesthetic factor?

Very nice, as usual you take take things to the next level. There's a thread on SB that prompted me to post this. You may want to reply there too but be aware it may lead to you having to actually make one (or two) <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Thought I'd post this just so it will be out there in case anyone becomes interested in developing this. It's a spike for a pipe gun. I envisioned it mounted on the barrel with two screws. A better idea may be a plastic muzzle with the spike incorporated into it. I don't use euro guns and I'm not experienced working with plastics so I'm not pursuing making it. I do have a spike on all my wood guns. Tin Man made a better drawing of it.

Is it true that Rolo can tell if the fish is ciguato by sticking his tongue in the fish's ass? <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

There are three different guns.
1. Riffe C3.
2. A speargun blank with enclosed track that I bought and finished.
3. A gun that I built from scratch. What's throwing you off may be that I used the Riffe red butt for it.

All guns had the handle mounted with a mortise tenon joint as shown in the pics. As such the rounded contour of the Riffe C3 stock didn't matter. I did use some putty on the C3 to blend the handle with the stock and fill the safety rod groove, then painted the Herculiner over it. That's why it looks like one piece.

Riffes seem to hold their value well.

$420 for the C3
$467 for the 110X

LOL if there was ever going to be a time to post this pic it's now. Just think what might have been if that cuda bite didn't cut short your hand modeling career..
