Hi selling my Omersub Teak 115 gun with double 16mm rubbers and 7.5mm spear with double floppers & sharkfin tabs.Gun is fitted with an Omer aluminum reel with the extendable handle.This gun has hardly been used and thats why Im selling it.These guns were a limited ed with only 500 made.Gun also come with the ergonomic handle should you wish to change to that.Photos show the standard fitted.Price without postage is £300 .I will charge you whatever postage costs me.
Here are some details;Design by Marco Pisello - an established architect who lives and works in Carate Brianza outside of Milan. A spearfishing enthusiast who between the 80's and 90's took part in several 1st category (major league vs. minors for spearfishing basically in Italy) winning many trophies.
Production: limited to 200 pieces for 2005
Design Process – Marco Pisello teamed up with the technical department at Omer to make the architectural drawings (of his early prototype which he commissioned to Omer) CNC friendly through the use of CAD 3D and 4D design software used in Omer's technical department.
Barrel Manufacturing process: Outsourced to an established high end Italian manufacturer specializing in wood. The manufacturer disposes of CNC machines for the manufacturing process while producing these M.Pisello/Omer Master America Speargun design. The initial year the Master America Speargun debuted in the European market 2003 ½) the 500 piece production was sold out and a rerun especially catered to the necessities and differences of the US and Oceanic markets was considered using Teak wood. CNC machining allows consistencies in precision from piece to piece and the ability to make curved cuts and the milling in the stock that cannot be replicated by typical routers, tables saws etc and can usually only be done by hand by experienced wood craftsman.
Wood: Teak, Burmese teak to be precise. Teak is synonymous with the best wood for marine applications in that it does not require a stain or sealer for protection thanks to its natural siliceous (high silicone) content.
Burmese teak is hard to differentiate from other lesser types of teak like Indonesian teak but as a rule of thumb it is a rich golden brown heart wood while the soap wood is pale yellow. The Master America Speargun barrels are laminated using 6 laminations to ensure rigidity and eliminating any possibility of warping and glued together specifically. But more importantly 6 laminations are used because Teak has a natural variation in density of roughly 25-30%, basically not all teak is homogeneous, and therefore one piece may weigh up to 30% more or less than an identical sized piece.
These inherent differences in the wood were considerations that couldn’t be blown off for the proper balance of the speargun and therefore all the strips of teak used are weighed so that they conform to a specific weight criterion and the ones that fall outside of this criteria aren’t used.
The Barrel Design takes the classic cuttlefish Master shape with integrated wings which enhances lateral tracking and indentions in the teak are made to snug the fittings for the muzzle to anchor it securely. The hole for the second band is also grooved nicely to conceal the band and integrate it nicely in the barrel once loaded. This barrel shape is a proven design from former Master models and in the Master America Speargun version is beefier to increase the mass for the use of two bands compared to previous models that were designed around one band.
