Hey all, new to the site and speargun fabrication. I plan on building 2
I am an avid worker, with a shop full of tools and hardwoods. The wood i have planed for my first build is one gun from Burmese Teak and the other from sheoak (australian).
I've been doing a lot of research and have a few questions on the beginning portion of laminating. Everyone talks about west systems epoxy for the binding agent - there are several types of resin and hardener, which does everyone recommend?
Also I'm torn on the subject of open track and closed track. This will be a reef gun and I'm thinking of a hybrid - closed track in the rear to open track. In the open track guns I've seen on line what holds the tip of the spear on the muzzle?
Final question; what trigger mechanism is the best? I've looked at neptonics and nile tec.
