Re: enclosed trac: wood or composite?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I've had a Wong ono gun with wood enclosed track for about 10 years, and it has stayed "true." Do you mean "straight"? As we discussed in another thread, the gun is t-laminated, so the gun is straight, and the track in it is straight.

As far as I know, the only drawback to wood tracks is that they can be broken out if you shoot fish so close that the shaft is still in the track, or perhaps drop the gun so that the shaft breaks the track out.

On the Wong guns, the problem is addressed by a delrin reinforcement at the front of the track.
