I was looking at a piece of teak furniture (while it's owner was sitting on it) the other day and was wondering how to make a gun from that chair leg, but it was too short, then it ocurred to me.....

I could make a hibrid!

I feel sorry for the girl, but I couldn't agree more with Dan. Those are very intelligent animals that sometimes are pushed around for entertainment and that whale just didn't feel like being messed with that day.

The AR-15 is the best option. As a matter of fact there are other weapons and aftermarket stocks for other weapons that use the same handle. I had a couple of such handles that I removed from my service rifle along with some other mods when I had to return the weapon back to the armory after my time in the gulf. Let's see if I can find them.

Great pics Marco! Maybe one day he'll make you proud and become a spearo (and probably spear more fish than you do...). But seriously nice looking kid, God bless him. I wish mine were around to share the love for the sea but they're far away in Texas.....:(

Great idea. Kinda like those Merlo revolver looking handles.:)

Welcome!:)

Welcome Capytan!:)
Wow! 14 inches of ice at the lake....Ice diving anyone?

I believe Marco is from Venezuela.

You might be right Core, I'm not sure ther were billers that i saw could have been a sea hornets. I still have one as loaner and it is closed muzzle.

Attan un ''muzzle'' es la punta del arpon por donde pasan las gomas. Si es ''open'' abierto lo unico que sujeta la varille es el hilo o ''shooting line'' ejemplo los arpones riffe. Cuando es ''closed'' cerrado tienes que meter la varilla desde la punta hacia atras por el agujero del muzzle al estilo de los jbl y los champion, la varilla es sujetada por el muzzle y generalmente centralizada en el muzzle por una corredera o ''slide'' aunque algunos arpones modernos tambien sujetan la varilla con el ''shoting line'' a traves del ''muzzle'' al estilo de los arpones mako ''closed muzzle''. BTW la mayoria de los ab biller son ''closed muzzle'' pero venden un ''open muzzle'' opcional. Maybe someone could post pics of the muzzles if they have them available.

I almost never grunt but have done the sand trick, crushed clams and sea urchins or leave a stringer of fish on the bottom an them come later to see what's checking out the stringer (got some nice groupers, pargos and a shark once).

Good to know you're doing better Dan, since I'm not doing too good myself I developed cellulitis on my right leg from my knee to my ankle that's going to keep me from diving in a while. It sucks since I had to cancel my trip to Boca and I was looking foward to meet you guys. I'm starting a new job at the end of this month so I'm hoping to go over after summertime hopefully...:)

I agree with Marco, 120 with two 5/8's is good all around.

I fished with closed muzzles most of my life and I can reload such a gun in no time , but since I shoot a lot of my fish from holes I did break a muzzle a couple of times shooting fish at point blank and the shaft didn't exit the gun completely. So I started using open muzzles about 10 years ago on open track wood gun (Riffe) and it was fine but when my comp3 was stolen and tried a friends railgun with the raised rail it was harder to load just like Monster said. Nowadays I use both kinds about the same.

Could you imagine if it was a shark?...........

Bienvenido!

Cool. I was just referring to when tuning shops take a 13B and modify it to a 3 rotor. Or do they change the name as well? What vehicles came stock with the 20?

I believe they came from factory on 90-95 cosmos in Japan but they're built usin13B's rotors and housings and that's the way most tuning shops build them. There's even a 4 rotor version, the R26B that was banned from Le'mans 24 hr race after it's debut. But a well built 13B would give you 500hp reliably for the street or a good 600-900hp on a turbo peripheral configuration for a race car.:)

Welcome aboard 13b, BTW a 3 rotor its called a 20b and speaking of rotaries and ae86s here in P.R thats our bread and butter here.:)

Hey Don, have you ever written a book? If not I think it's about past due......I have read stuff from other great legends of our sport like your friend Terry and others and your pics and stories should be right there along with theirs. Great stories and the history of our sport is to be recorded so future generations of spearfishermen know where it all began.:)
