At 34", it fits into my suitcase, or into my dive backpack, or my duffel.

After landing an amberjack on my last trip with 2, 9/16" bands and a hawaiian spear, I decided that I want it to be more than just a reef pea shooter.

So, now it's rigged with 3, 9/16" bands, and 9/32" Mori Shaft with slip tip. I also have a neptonics breakaway line - if needed. Of course, I still have two hawaiian spears for firing into holes. The stock is just barely buoyant without the shaft - it's heavy - so, the kick isn't bad.

I have yet to test it with the slip tip shaft, but the hawaiians fire strait as a pin - the track is semi enclosed.

That is definitely one of the nicer looking american guns. Seems to work well too. What did the amberjack weigh, looks a beauty.

That is about 830mm = just about the most popular length of gun used in the UK.
Looks really nice.
