Dropped the drive to r+r the water pump impeller, looks like the motor was only used the fresh water.
Gear oil was new and water free.Finished the front trailer step that i will use for fueling the bow tank.

Bonjour Micky, Welcome to the forum.

Welcome mate.

What a stupid shit...like running toward a oncoming train. I've watched a few tourists die there over the years.
Sad part is the guards and surfers that put their lives on the line trying to save them.

Welcome to the forum John and Sharon, I wish you well on your new journey without the bubbles. Soon you will never look back I predict.

Cheers, Don

Save those old Cuban cigars for me.

Mounted the transom plates and the motor, along with outboard/trailer bracket support. Found a great trailer step from a Freight liner truck.
Engine cover off for powder paint.

Ah, yes "muscle loading" - that was the phrase that I escaping me;)
I do still think the gun in question is not a CO2 gun but a traditional pneumatic in terms of function.

I agree as I see very little bubbles on firing, just the normal captivation.

Cheers, Don

Why is that?

Not a muscle loaded shaft. Even a pneumatic gun is a air spring the muscle loads.
Compressed air guns are also illegal in Mexico, even if some get away with it.

Cheers, Don

That is awesome, just would not be legal for record fish in the USA.
Thanks for the link Marco.

@Don, right now, over on SillyBoard, there is a guy who might be selling a pretty nice condition SMG gun. You prolly know it, but I didn't. But basically it uses gun powder cartridges to propel the shaft. Might be something for your collection?

Thanks mate, already have a few in the boy's collection.

Cheers, Don

What year was it discontinued and why?

I think Gecko summed it up well.
When the light long barrelled rear handled guns became so easy and inexpensive to make and copy, guns with advanced methods and lot of highly machined parts never went forward and are now just collector guns unfortunately. The Titan guns were still available till early 80's.

Don't worry about reviving a old buried thread...I love continuing knowledge.
Yeah the Ukrainian gun is cool, some smart guys there.....with big piles of Ti and brains.

Cheers, Don

A Mares Mini Titan 870mm with vinyl case, one of the most mint guns in my son Dillon's collection. It has never been wet, but still has a charged barrel. These guns have the best stock handle Ive held.

Cheers, Don

Welcome to Speardiver, find some friends who dive or look up one of the Clubs like Fathomiers or Long Beach Neptunes, go slow and safe.

Cheers, Don

102 degrees here today, way too hot to work....off to do some Fathers day stuff with Dillon. Great to have her out in the sun light...on to the floor and mounting the console.

Cheers, Don

Really nice shot Harry. That fish's path looked very changeling on the vid.

Cheers, Don
