My jimmies have been well and truly rustled.
As you probably know, I've been waiting for this gun for ages! It was meant to be released in March at the latest, then it was April.... I was then assured by Sporasub in writing that it would the the end of May / start of June.
A little cross at the new slip in times... (understatement).
On a separate note, numerous Sporasub suppliers have had the gun marked as 'in stock' for the last 4 months... some even assured me they could ship it to the UK within days (lies). I called Sporasub on that and pointed out the three separate EU laws their suppliers were breaking... typical Italians, didn't give a sh*t rofl
No idea what to buy now, I'm totally sold on air power & vacuum kits now so don't really want to shell out on a band gun... oh yeah... to make matters 10,000 times worse... I SOLD MY OTHER GUNS IN ANTICIPATION. So I don't have a gun!!!!

The continual delay may be in sourcing the outer tank extrusion in sufficient volumes and quality (tolerances on the dimensions and surface finish), it is the only thing that is really different. Plastic moldings just need the dies created and metal parts are machined, so no big problems there.
Or maybe they're just lazy, disorganised b*****ds
They are just busy with the latest "final touch" improvements to the project. As shown below:

if you mean specifically on the one, then there will be an O ring seal, if you mean generally on air guns then nothing as the barrel fills with water.
however there are lots of after market kits to fit any make of air gun to prevent this happening - IE Tomba kits.

So that's why the EU agreed to work on fishing quotas today!
Hmmm... I'm not sure how lucky you're going to be there mate... Apnea have told me that the One Air will come in at ~£215 + VAT - they have the Airbalete (Camo) priced at £275 + VAT...
I can't see companies being able to price a reduced Airbalete that much cheaper than the One Air... take in the price of the Tomba kit and you'll be paying significantly more for the Airbalete.
Well the Apnea store is only a 10 min flight or 45 min boat trip across the 20 miles of sea to Jersey so sort off mate, we don't have any serious spearfishing shops here just 3 or 4 small outlets.
The boat is 99% finished but no launched yet because I am still using my other boat.
