No need. I kind of forgot about it for a while. But then a guy contacted me who wanted a mount for his Biller and really wanted it in time for his upcoming trip. I told him the only way I could turn it around fast was if he sent me the butt piece to measure, and he happily obliged.

Lots of people seem to hate the Riffe comp handles. So it occurred to me that I might be able to make a Delrin frame that fits the Riffe Comp series guns, to be used in combination with a Shapelock plastic grip.
Does anyone have an old Riffe Comp series handle that I could buy or borrow for a while to get some measurements from? The overall condition doesn't matter, as long as it's intact.
If I can do it, would anyone be willing to test it for me?

Are those native to Florida? Or, like the pythons in the Everglades, are they the descendants of released / escaped pets?

Dan - Are you thinking of toads? I'd be careful with those. They do have poison glands in the skin, and I can see where it would be tough to make sure that you didn't transmit that posion to the meat while cleaning. Although the ones we have around here are just a few inches long, and nowhere near big enough to get any meat from.
I'm certainly no expert, but as far as I know, any frog in North America that's big enough to bother with is safe to eat.
I've never had iguana, but I bet it tastes like most other reptiles. I have had rattlesnake, alligator, and a couple different kinds of turtle, and find them all very similar in taste and texture.

No, the water was pretty warm on the surface, so just rashguards. A little colder below the thermocline where the water cleared up, but not enough to justify a suit.

From a design standpoint, the main thing that I don't like about that gun is that the Aimrite handle is not recessed into the bottom of the stock. So the handle screws, and the tiny little bit of plastic that surrounds them, must absorb all of the recoil and handling forces. I don't have first hand experience breaking those handles, but I have made several delrin handles for others who have broken them around the screw holes.

I'll take 2, 3, and 4.

Dan, take a look at the pelaj skeleton knife. Nothing too special about the knife, but I really like the sheath. It has thick elastic straps that fit around my lower leg. It is very streamlined and I usually put it on in the morning and forget that it's there until the end of the day.

Thanks for the kind words Hau. I'm glad that you're happy with it. Now, let's see some fish pics!

I was actually wondering if there were quality fins that were about 25% smaller than a normal sized fin. A little shorter would be nice, but a little narrower would be great. It would be nice to be able to have the same choices of softer or stiffer fins, just in a slightly smaller package.
-
Stiffness aside, do any fins come in different lengths? I'm 5'-4" and 150 lbs, so it just doesn't seem like I would need the same propulsive force as a 6'-4", 250 lb guy.
I couldn't find any carbon fiber fins by the kiddie toys in Walmart . . .

Hey Dan, did you ever use this knife diving? If so, what's your evaluation vs. your original impressions?

Yes. Florida has some rules that you need to look into. You cannot spearfish within a certain distance (I think it's 100 yds) of a bathing area, or within a certain distance of jetties. In the Pensacola area, you also need to be aware that Ft. Pickens and Ft. McRae are "National Seashores". What this means can vary from day to day, and depends on which Ranger you talk to. I've been checked by the Marine Patrol numerous times without incident when spearfishing on the Bay side of Ft. Pickens, but I was always a good 1/4 mile from the shore. You might have an issue if you tried to make a shore dive entry with a speargun at Ft. Pickens.
Also, be aware that there is a buffer zone around the Navy base. When they established that, they nixed a great Mangrove snapper spot. There is a set of two massive water inlet pipes that extend a couple hundred yards from the base, but I think they are off limits now.
One more thing. I'm not sure what the status of the Battleship Massachusetts is. I think it's some sort of underwater park as well, and I don't know if there are any unusual rules that go along with that.
Sorry, I don't mean to be vague. Those just aren't areas that I frequent, so I only know that the rules have changed many times over the years. But you'll need to call to be sure.
