I thought I'd share an upgrade I made to an old Biller gun my brother had. I have family in Florida so I travel between Hawaii and there twice a year. I didn't want to buy a new gun, so I made his travel size to fit my HSD dive bag 
The first photo is the newly epoxied rail. The Biller shaft has a ring stop that ripped it up, so I resealed it and added grafite to the epoxy so that it'll... Well... Look cooler :t
The second photo is the brass knurls I epoxied in so that I could take apart the handle as often as I wanted without stripping the wood. The gun fits perfect with the handle taken off.
The catch is that you gotta have a spear wherever it is your going, but when you think how much it is to check a second bag 35buck... each way... It's cheaper to just buy a new one and sell it each time. Another thought is to invest in a riffe travel spear and a slip tip to take a strain off the spear.
I know not to many outside of Florida like the Biller guns, but maybe this will help someone with a similar gun and problem. I also modified the stock shaft by drilling a hole in front of the notches, grinding off the slide ring stopper, and filing the notches so they'll work with dyna wishbones. I was thinking about making it completely open (like riffe), but I wanted to test this out first before I did any major cutting.
