Hello spearos
The time is almost here to start work again. The last poll to enable this will end soon and then we may proceed. The timber has had a long time to rest now and will be very stable for the next possibly the most important step of aligning all the vital components.
It looks like the depressed track will be the outcome, very interesting choice. This brings along the complication of fitting the track. I was asked my opinion by Foxfish about this last week. Indeed as someone described elsewhere, it will be likely that the long extension of a minute cutter will attract too much vibration to be 100% simple. So it would be prudent to use a synthetic track made from Derlin. Should anyone else choose to make their own version of this gun then this will be simple to emulate.
There has also been some mention of sizes of the barrel. To help you make some decisions these are the dimensions of the track and trigger. The track is 10.2mm tall and 10.2mm wide at the top. The trigger is 30mm tall and 12mm wide.
I have been supplied with a Bleu shark fin shaft and a Totemsub trigger. both items were supplied by www. diveshop.gr. Along with the Derlin track we are in a position to proceed.
See you next time spearos
