  • Keep your wood gun looking good

    Quote from Ryddragyn

    Don't oil it for a while to let as much oil get out of it as possible, then add epoxy after sanding and acetone.


    I had Phil Herranen epoxy my Riffe Euro as a way to prevent scratching and delamming. Worth every penny. The thing has been dragged down gravelly river bottoms, knocked around on boats, used as a marker on rocky coral reefs, etc etc...it still looks amazing. If you're going to epoxy it, use his stuff.


    I agree 100% Phil resin system is the best I have worked with.I saw and handled the gun he donated to the OOF and it was flawless, I know the long hours he must have spent to get it that way.

  • Spearfishing wetsuits by Speardiver

    I really like this suit and where the anti abrasion pads are located. You guys have my word if I ever have a
    Speardiver product that I feel doesn't meet the mark in terms of quality, Dan and you guys will be the first to know.
    Dan has been so through before bringing a product to market I doubt this will ever happen .

  • Handle sheared off gun

    Dam Tin didn't know your such a young guy..... Yeah that's what I like to see.
    If I was doing a gun I would trust your handle for sure. Nice Work mate as usual.

  • Seac Sub 130cm

    I have only shot two small 2O and 28 pound local fish with my Airbalete. I have test shot a few air guns in the 130 and 140 range and they can kill any thing I hunt.


    I believe the 130 you have in mind will do the job.

    Quote from Mr paul

    I heard about this a few weeks ago but wasn't sure about saying anything. I didn't want to put any attention on Daryl or the quality of his guns. I think it might be time to upgrade to the Alexander handles on my guns.


    I heard about it after our Puke dive together, or I would have told you. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • Handle sheared off gun

    Quote from greekdiver

    I had a wong and sold it because i hated how much recoil it had.


    Even with a 5/16 or 9/32 ? I have never shot one, but I've seen a few with Steve A's handle.
    I have shot 6 band guns in testing that feel like a car crash, and unless I was hunting big Tuna or Marlin would hate to pull the trigger on one. This does not apply to well balanced and weighted guns.
