I have had a hard time liking the 75cm Dessault. It just feels crappy. The reel, just arrived, is, surprise, crappy feeling too.

The spear flopped around in the open muzzle configuration, and accuracy has not been good (well, be fair, it's only a 75cm gun!)

I did the same mod on my Omer Cayman, and that gun is a laser.

The inox Allen head screw was rounded off on a angle grinder with sanding disk, the hole drilled about 0.5mm smaller than the inner (trough) diameter of the thread. Super glue was used to firm up. A small groove is needed in the sides of the muzzle to route the line.

Lets see if it makes me love the gun more. I won't know for a week or so though.
