ciao all!!

roller is a overpower then a normal spearguns.
Spillo hat a 3 power control:
1- front- is a normal 70 (cm) lenght
2- middle - is like a 90
3- rear - is like a 110

all in one !! ( in a little gun!!) this is a very good opportunity for my sea

i can hunter like ambush, aspect, lair; all whith only one gun.

I would say that Spillo is not a special construction for this gun, it is no-positive.....too much. so I prepare a new right spearguns for this.

But the right accessories for roller you can find here:

Tom,

Put a picture of your Tuna Gun!!!!!!!!!!!

You are driving everybody crazy waiting for it.

After the picture we will tell you the secret of the new rollers, that way you could make one next time and teasing us with the pictures again.

After I saw your previous gun on the other forum, I am pretty sure that it must be a piece of work.

Did you test this one in the pool????????

Cheers

Ivan

Here ya go...

I did not shoot it yet.... I am actually not finished - I am putting more finish coats on it.... not to mention I have to put the hardware on it as you can see....

Tom,

What a beauty!!!!!!!!

It is an awesome work, you really work the wood very well and as in you other gun, or at least the one that I saw in Spearboard, I really like the finish and the handles that you make.

I am very familiar with the european models like Totem and Abellan and I like the fine work in the spearguns.
I think that you made a excellent gun as well as a beautiful one.

Congratulations, you are a Master, keep them coming.

Cheers

Ivan

Tom,

The advantage to a roller gun is fairly simple, with a roller you use the bands entire stretch from the roller to the notch or fin, without the slack rubber you would have left as in a regular speargun. You are able to transfer more energy to the shaft as well as already being inline with the shaft because of the rollers.

Pappa Jack P. experimented with them years ago in California, I believe there is only one commercially made roller gun made by SeaTec of Italy. Seatec guns are hard to find in the states though, so I had a Seatec representative send me an Import price list and catalog. They seem to be a really forward thinking company, as well as being headed by Valerio Grassi formerly of Omer. I have built a couple of Rollers, I think I still have one laying around somewhere. I send you a pic of it if I can find it.

Here is an older Roller gun pic....don't know who made it though and a link to the Seatec gun: http://www.spearo.co.uk/images/st-roller.jpg

 

[shaneshac]

Very nice

What wood is that?

 

[stoneshot]

Shane,

I believe Tom said it is Teak and Zebrawood......purty ain't it?

 

[shaneshac]

Its beautiful

The handle looks like it has been carved out of the same piece.
