i nc l ud e:
TAPERED/LA MIN ATED TEAK STOCK - is
heavy sectioned at the middle for necessary rigidity
tapering down toward the muzzle for low swing resistance in the
water.
PREC IS I ON
M ILLED
BLANKS - are not planed, b u t milled on precision
metal -work in g milling machines. Before gluing, the
blank halves are machined flat with a course finish for good glue adhesion.
The SEMI-ENCLOSED TRACK - encloses the spear and prevents it from bowing during acceleration
when using very high power-band loads, thus extending the range of the
spear without losing accuracy. The enclosed track eliminates the need f o r other
hardware or line wrapping methods f or holding the spear d own on
the gun.
THE M UZZLE CAP- is "hard -anodized", 356
alloy for strength
and corrosion resistance. Its purpose is to protect the end of the spear track from damage and allows the slot
f
or the rubber slings to be positioned as close to the spear track plane as possible. The distance
between them is less than 1/8"
(3mm). This
hi g h positioning of the slot reduces vertical recoil or "kick -up" when firing,
thus improving accuracy. Fits up to 6 bands.
THE HEAVY DUTY TR I GGER M ECHAN I SM- is a modular design
with
all
– stainless
steel components.
Precise trigger geometry ensures extremely light and smooth trigger re l ease while capable of safely
holding
rubber loading of over 800 pounds.
This is the strongest and safes
t mechanism available
and is commonly retro-fitted in to many
types of spear guns.
DUAL PURPOSE CAPABILITY- is achieved with
the removable weighted side-stocks which increases the weight and displacement
of the gun. The added weight suppresses recoil when using more than 400 pounds
of sling tension and allows more of the rubber energy to go into accelerating the
spear. The added displacement of the
side-stocks or floats compensates for the added weight to maintain buoyancy and
balance.
THE UNDER -STOCK LINE RELEASE - provides an out -of-the-way location for the shooting-line and will not bind the trigger action since release is actuated by the spear itself. The combination of a thick -sectioned laminated stock, enclosed track, plus increased weight and floatation allows the use of up to 600 pounds of band pull without excessive flexing or recoil and provides an effective range of over 30 feet with a high degree of accuracy.
