Hi all.
I have a Rob Allen and i need a spare spear but since rabitech dealer is closer are the spear's compatible? the guns have "some" similar things... is the spear "similar" too?

thanks for the help.

Fernando
 
If the Rabitech dealer you are referring to is Sumora.com, (Erik Sun), then the spears he sells are in fact Rob Allen spears, so you're set.

thanks for your quick reply but i'm refering to the portuguese dealer and the spears are from rabitech... but if sumora sells RA spear to rabitech and RA guns, i'm good. right?
 
From EriK (sumora.com) i got the folowing:
"They can be used in the RA Vecta. Unfortunately, the Green (older) handle had a mechanism that only accepted RA-Standard spears..."
since i have the vecta handle i'm good

And from Adrenaline Spearfishing Supplies (http://www.spearfishing.com.au)
"...the Rabitech spears are slightly different to Rob
Allen Spears and will not work properly with the New Rob Allen guns."

i need help from you guys!

Anyone that has both?
 
Mate I work at Adrenaline (spearfishing.com.au) and the rabitech spears will fit the new vecta handles, but the old RA shafts won't fit the vecta handles. However you CAN use the rabitech & new RA shafts in the OLD style green handled RA...they just don't sit as well in the rail.

Ok, thank's.
I have the new RA handle (vecta). So i can use the rabitech spears...
 
Interesting ... I seem to recall reading a few years ago that RA made the spears for Rabitech. I wonder if that is/was right. Either way, thanks for explaining that Dan.
BTW Even in the pre-Vecta catalog (still available on-line) RA made two distinct families of spears. I think they were RA for their railguns and universal for most spearguns, including railguns.
