Wow, you're right - the website must have changed very recently, within the last week I reckon. Pity, I really liked the simple, clean layout of the old one. Could have just used a little more content & regular updates. Still, perhaps the new one is better. Perhaps not, it looks more like the old Rabitech site: very poor use of screen real estate (a real pain to use on a laptop), too many clicks to navigate, 2 clicks to each speargun product & no over view/summary page displaying the range (muzzle section looks good though). Looks like they have some interesting new products:
  • - new plastic reel
  • - new flashers
  • - the new open muzzle
  • - new crimping tool
  • - new spear tip option(reckon I have a rock-tip but a tri-cut might be required for big mullet!)
  • - new slip tip
  • - new mini-fin option.
  • - the new speed stringer looks new & different - this is something different & beyond the normal "speed needle" as they call it.
  • - new slip tip!!!
  • - improved reef hook (I think)
  • - "Ghost Leader", under floats - interesting idea, a clear leader at the end of your float line to aid hiding in ambush/aspetto/aguetto. Must give that a try A good way to extend a short float line too ( 10m float line + 5m ghost leader)
  • - new 18mm rubber (20mm rubber is now recommended for "longer guns" - maybe they saw my posts!)

PS: I also saw the new trig mech slightly different from what I saw on your installation pics! I wonder if I should send mines in for replacement. However, I don't think it's needed any time soon I would considered it once my guns gives me problems again (hopefully never again) That's how much I trust RA products.
Yes, my railgun was well within warranty. All Vector handles are probably still under warranty.

Re. Why not let them do it? The quickest, simplest, best option (for everyone) was to get it sent to me. I installed it immediately, it took less than 5 minutes all told. V. simple. It hadn't occurred to me that I might want to swap a trigger mech but it would be quite practical to do that on a trip if necessary.
