I know when the pilgrims came the lobster were around 6ft long. I believe I read somewhere that a lobster never stops growing.

I have a video of a guy loading a 135 seac w/o a "foot loader" and just two loaders: http://xtremespearfishing.com/…ng_a_large_pneumatic_gun/
Cant see the video, not a member. Is there another source?
Guess I will try a 2 step approach.
Post a pic of the ghetto loader Tone.

Are you using the bar on your knee?
Nope. It's on my foot and I still have to have a lanyard on the loader to load it.
Thanks sporascrub. I'll experiment to see what I can come up with.
I'm thinking about making three steps.

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 does a 2-stage loader look like? Is it classified by the number of "rungs" it has?
I dont see how a loading bar would be any different. It would still put the muzzle in the same position. I want the muzzle to be in front of my face not under it.
I also believe a 2-stage loader would help prevent the shaft from buckling while loading it.
-
Anyone have any pics of their ladder?
I dont like the knee loader, it puts the muzzle too low.

Home depot/lowes sells sheets of it up to 1/2 inch thickness. We use it for soundproofing floors. It is very crumbly so getting a smooth finish might be tough but I never sanded or cut it before. What about balsa or foam?

Happy birthday to Adrian and Oto.

thimble of oil for the gun, they charged me $10 for it.
Italian site says he uses 10W fork oil,it's about $4 a pint.

I'm not paying anyone to pressurize my gun. I would think that is free, if not then I wont do it.
Thanks Frank but the gauges are only $5 at the hardware store. Reducer is a couple of cents and I can probably modify a piercing valve to open the air port.
-
Well the italian website calls it a manometer. They use those glycerin filled water pressure gauges. Max on a mares cyrano is about 30 BAR, I think all other are 20 BAR.
Webpage: http://www.webalice.it/svl555/manometro/manometro.html
From what I see it is a gauge, a reducer and a third piece with a pin on it to depress the ball on the the air port.

Yummy. Also my favorite way to eat lobster. The sauce on the rice is the bomb!!!

What's wrong with a pump?
As Tinman said, I'm looking fo a complicated solution to a simple problem. I'm curios to know what pressure my gun is at.
Thanks for the info Sporascrub but I think I can make one for less.
Did you guys see the compressor the italian guy made from an old refridgerator?
-
Are there any places near me that will pressurize my pneumatic. It is very easy to load and shoots slow.
Also have any of you ever made or know where to get a manometer to measure the pressure? I saw that italian guys thread but cant find any info on what pieces he used.
-
Nice diving with you guys.
What can I say, I see fish I shoot fish.

LOL seriously that is my ringtone.

You'd be surprised to see what can be with whatever you have. I saw a documentary on Cuba, one of the persons they did it on had his auto shop in the back of his house.(Technically it belonged to el commandante
) The cars were Russian from the 50's, this dude would make his own brake pads:eek:.I saw the same documentary. Pretty cool. The also made some parts by hand, even had some customers from the US.
My guess is they use an existing handle and do the rest themselves.

Davie, pardon me for questioning you but I don't remember a depth finder on the jon boat. Was it a portable one and if so did you remove the transducer too?
The cables were always there, I probably forgot it. I barely use it for ft lauderdale, it is basically the same terrain all over. Some spots are better than others but you cant figure it out with a depthfinder, you have to drift it.
-
Were you using a depth finder? If not I'm sure there's lots to be found still.
Depthfinder, gps, and even better, Kris has access to some special secret maps of the area and a retired commercial diver gave him his numbers. He would just show up with a list of numbers and put them in my gps, the deal was I wouldn't take anyone to them without him or his permission. So those are off unless he gives permission.
