Hi guys and girls,
I’m relatively new to DeeperBlue and well spearfishing in general. I was wondering if I could pick your brains about a rather large problem of mine!
So recently I bought the Ocean Hunter Chameleon Railgun, (Cheap and Cheerful Chinese POS, but I didn’t know that at the time) and after a few uses I discovered that the spear didn’t ‘sit’ on/in the rail like the spear should. I thought it was a bit odd but as I’m new to spearfishing, so I didn’t really question it.
Now after a couple of months I looked at the gun properly and to my horror, I discovered the muzzle isn’t in line with the rail. It’s off by around about 10 degrees. This causes the shaft to bend a little to the side and sit high (2-3mm) and to the right (1-2mm), taking no advantage of the rail. This is all because of the screw at the bottom of the barrel underneath the muzzle, is not in the right position.
So I’m wondering what do I do? If I widen the hole and reposition the muzzle and the screw, doesn’t that mean the barrel will flood? I’m thinking about warranting it, would that be the best option? If you’ve got any other ideas please please PLEASE let me know.
Sorry if I said or asked anything against the rules or just plain dumb.
Kind Regards,
Jack
