It´s a cabrilla piedrera, no doubt about it. The meat of that fish is delicious. Take the fillets and dip it with some mustard, mayo and a bit of pepper, then put them in a foil with pimentón slices, onion and a thick layer of yelow chesse and some ham and bacon, fold it thight and put it on the grill one sided until done...
Enjoy
1000 pesos is big money here for a shaft also.
These are probably easier to make since you already have the screw-in bands.
That´s a thought. I figure it that it could be made out of the same threaded stuff of the original steel articulated wishbone. (that in fact looks dangerous as hell)
The handle is just like the stealth. Not sure on how those trigger mechs are. The Rabitechs can withhold alot of pressure. I use a 7mm shaft and a single 20mm band (very short), plenty of power out to the length of single wrap. If you are shopping for shafts, I would contact Eric at Sumora. He had a really good deal on some shafts. I used them on some large big fish since putting them on and shaft has not bent yet.
Rolo, i was wondering if it´s identical from the inside out. I have read somewhere that the viper has a stainless steel release , if it´s so, then it can withstand the pressure of the larger shaft. My only concern is about safety if the sear is going to wear out and i get sometime a misfire. Anyway, I will try the larger shaft.
Thank you mano
Other nice thing to do with the gun is to change the muzzle too
Thats great, are those for sale somewhere?
About shafts, we take care of them as if they were made out of gold. In méxico almost 1000 pesos for a shaft is big money. So we have to get skill to go for the stone shots hehehe
You mean would it be OK for the articulated steel wishbone? It probably would but I'd get rid of the quitadedos if I were you. Just ask Pantoja. There's a nice modification you can make with inserts and dyneema. Let me know if you don't know what I'm talking about. This will be perfect for mini tabs. I'll say it again RA shafts are nothing special, the only thing they got going is they're cheap, but they rust eventually. See my thread on experimenting with an RA shaft and that was a 7.5mm, you get what you pay for. Why don't you get a group of guys together and source out a manufacturer in Mexico?
That mod, would be terrific, but i am not familiar with the procedure. Care to elaborate please?
I don't know what you mean? We do leg locks all the time we just know when to tap. I train with ATT and so far all the guys have been very considerate just as I am. Nobody is out to hurt anyone. If I start to work with someone that appears too aggressive I tell them before we start that if they get a leg lock I'll tap right away and to watch out for it. I don't f*ck around trying to escape from leg locks as I've been hurt badly before. The best escape anyways is to not be caught with them in the first place.
I love boxing too but just don't have time for it.
i have osteocondritis in my left ankle due to continous strikes in the area :crazy: that´s why i´m shy to mix it up in MMA. I´m saving my ankles for freediving :;
Display MoreInteresting question. First I wouldn't pick any of those and rather would make a gun to my specs. But if I could only have a gun from those you listed my reasoning would be as follows.
I like to hip load so that right away disqualifies everything but the Riffes because competitor series also comes with butt extension. Of the two I would go with the competitor series because it's lighter and is perfectly capable of handling two 5/8" bands and a 7mm shaft which is all I need for fish up to 50lb. If I was consistently going for bigger fish I would consider the standard series with a 5/16" shaft and two 5/8" bands plus one 9/16" bands.
Of course the first thing I'd do is get rid of the safety and the handle and put a custom handle on the gun.
That will make the gun usable for me but not ideal. I prefer a length between the C3 and C4 with two holes rather than a band slot which will give me a couple of more inches of band stretch. I also prefer a shaft with a single tab closer to the mech which gives me another inch of band stretch.
IF I could chest load I would go with an Aimrite because it has a steel trigger mechanism. See my post on the RA trigger mech, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. The only thing I would do to the Aimrite is get rid of the safety.
I'm not too concerned about accuracy. If the gun has a solid trigger mech that won't fail and it's not overpowered any one of those should shoot straight.
I like the Riffes too. The lever safety of the guns is a hassle tough, how do you get rid of it?
I have no possibilities to get a RA Shaft, but is possible to buy a Riffe Euroshaft from a dealer, my question here is if the minishark fin would be ok, for the Euro wishbone
I love the sweet science, but i like better MMA though. Is a real shame that my ankles don´t stand the leg locks anymore
You are right, i bent the shaft slightly even though the snappers i got were both stoneshots and both less than 10 pounds, those were shot as "speargun test" so, i can imagine what a larger pargo would do to the 6.5 shaft. La hace moño

Riffe Standard

What would be your pick and why?
The shaft that comes standard with the gun is a 6.5 mm, is nice but is no match for the local protein. I want to upgrade it to a 7 mm. Do you think the gun will stand the upgrade or should i stay with the standard set up?
I love boxing, and Cuban amateur boxers are the top of the crop. I am a lifetime fan of Teófilo Stevenson. But i don´t know whats the boxing horizon in Cuba nowadays
Consider them waiting for you. I hope your friends make fun of you for the colors.
Count on that brother hahahaha
It's always like that when you're dealing with a specialized market. I think we all make the mistake in the beginning of buying the overpriced stuff. Then again some people don't care and like the convenience of buying everything in one place. Others yet enjoy the brand names, that is beyond me. I'm at the point where the more unrelated to diving the perfect piece of gear is the bigger kick I get out of using it.
If you want to try a pair of these gloves I'll get a pair for you and send them with the spearpoint.
Absolutely Dan, i would love that, i was shy to ask :):
I wonder why the diving gear manufacturers charge 30 bucks for a similar glove, amara palms and stuff. I was looking for the riffes, but they are a bit expensive though. I want a real tough glove right now, specially after the spine accident
Looks like a Fairbanks/Sykes dagger. Used by gallant british pilots to open the livin´guts out the damn nazi,during the "D " day invasion, back in the good old days :fencing:
You are lucky to have so many options. I would like a RA shaft for my railgun even if it´s a 50 $ one
