I've built a new gun to use as an R & D tool. I'm setting out to produce a 90cm euro style gun using a set of 20mm screw in rubbers. Test spear is 120cm x 7mm diameter with a screw on head. Trigger/handle is Immersion 2 stage and head is beuchat. Stock is one piece mahogany with full length rail and built in wings.
The aim is to try different spears, spearheads, rigging, line sliders and rubbers as well as different weighting using a very sturdy sock. I'm looking for maximum flat spear trajectory with minimal recoil.
Results will enable me to build another gun based on the findings. Final gun may well have a wood handle and more refined trigger. R & D gun is currently just finished in epoxy to provide some protection but once tested/modified the eventual finish will be cammo.
