My 2 cents on the HF110

[ILDiver]

The Omer is the B. All the Caymans have the same diameters on the ends, I'm pretty sure. I'd have to research it, but I think all the Omer Euro guns have the same barrel openings. And from what I saw on HH's site, it just said Omer is the B, they did not list models.

I think is the A, I've being through the ordeal since I've install the HH muzzle on the Omer Excalibur and sporasub black viper.

The Type A is for barrels with internal diameter or 25 mm (the external diameter does not matter - so check the HF manual).

The Type B is for barrels with the diameter of 28 mm - internal.

The Omer Web page has it with an external diameter of 28 but the walls are 1.2 mm so that would give you a 25.6 mm so closer to type A.

Of course I am sure if you install the muzzle you will be the first one, since the gun is brand new also it already has an open muzzle.

I told them both were for Omer Cayman guns, so I hope they get it right. Looking at the Excalibur data sheet, it's muzzle will fit any 25.6mm bore or the 25mm Carbon.
From the data sheet of the Excalibur:

The new muzzle can be used on all spear guns featuring a barrel with an internal diameter of 25.6mm (Omer aluminum barrels) or 25.0 mm (Omer carbon fiber barrels).

From Hammerhead's online store:

HHEAD -B sizes will fit Beuchat, Omer, Escapez, and all other 25 mm or 1 inch I.D. barrels with 2 x 9/16th or 14 mm rubbers. For product specifications, mounting video how-to, pictures of modified guns, and additional information please browse our HammerHead photo gallery.

P.S. The HF is also 28mm O.D. and should be the Omer standard 25.6mm I.D. The HH Reef muzzle description list the Omer as B, the A is for 28mm I.D. guns.

Ok I must have them backwards.

Did you order already ?

What is insteresting I tought about the HH muzzle for a totally different reason, I was missing the line holder under the muzzle. But I kind like the desing of the cayman muzzle, very lean, yet if you give a good review about it, I may go foward and get one as well. My cayman is in Brazil so I will only be able to try it in December.

I got the two muzzles yesterday. I'm not sure when I'll get to try them out. I rigged my 55cm Cayman and my 90cm HF. The HF is ready to go to Florida in a few weeks. I was trying to get to WI today, but could not swing it. I'll take both to Florida not sure I'll ever fire the 55cm there

For the 90 I ordered the double red bands, but I put my 19mm single band on it. I'm not sure what the power difference would be from a single 19mm to a double 14mm.

I attached a couple of pics with the bands lightly stretched over the wings. I'm anxious to fire these.

The muzzles are very solid. To mount them I had to sand the muzzle a little where it goes into the barrel. Once the muzzle was in I aligned it with the track, everything was straight. I then drilled through the holes in the barrel and ran the plastic pins through. The assembly was easy.

I am happy so far.

It looks really good, I am looking forward to hear your impressions after the dive.

[ILDiver]

I shot the 55cm Cayman a couple times yesterday, but not enough to get a good read on it. I'll have to wait until I fire my HF in Florida. 2.5 weeks till the trip, 3 weeks till we get to hunt I think.

For Florida, I am not sure how clear is the water over there, but you may need a longer gun.

[ILDiver]

I've checked into it. I was told my 90 will be a good gun unless I get into REALLY big fish, which I doubt From what I've seen on speargun hunter, I should be ok I think. Not sure my skills will have me close to the larger fish yet.

[Whopperhead]

ILDiver- Not to mention I'll have my 115cm gun down there too. so, if for some reason we need a slightly longer gun. If I get 1 HOG FISH. I'll be happy

I don't recall if you tought your HF was loud like I did ?

So you are taking a HF55 and HF90 ?

[ILDiver]

I thought my HF was sort of loud. I put a dyneema shooting line on it and wishbone and it was much more quiet. I'm thinking that if the shaft is not dragging on the rail, it should be more quiet as well. That is what I expect with the band being inline. My 55 made no noise, I was shocked how quiet it was. I need to shorten the band a little, it was slightly under powered. I'll take a half inch off it, and try again, then cut again if needed. It felt like I could take at least an inch, but I don't to go too short.

I'm taking my 55, but not expecting to use it much. Maybe for trying to stalk and take some closer shots on hog fish or something, maybe for a kill gun if I get in over my head and get too big of a fish

Patience! All in due time. There is lots of diving to do and LOTS of time to do it.

I'm sure there will be times your going and I'll wish I was too. You have already been more times up there than I have.

[dotey]

oh i know i was saying going to the ocean and stuf like that would be great well hope that you guys have fun and take lots of pictures for me
