Hi everyone,

I’ve been involved with technical equipment, electronics, and hardware for many years, but I've also been getting deeper into diving and spearfishing. Glad to join the community.

I'm currently reviewing and optimizing some of my underwater gear setup. Quick question for those with experience on custom rigging or maintenance: when restoring or retrofitting older wooden stock guns or specialized components that have been in dry storage for a long time, what are your go-to practices for seal/rubber replacements and pressure testing before taking them into salt water?

Looking forward to exchanging ideas and learning from the experience here on the forum.
