Hello all,
I am a new member located on the West Coast of Ecuador. I just purchased (not received yet) a Salvimar Rock 40 to be used in our pretty well constant low visibility, shallow coastal inlets. The seller of the speargun was out of stock of spare spears, I would like to purchase a couple of spears (local resources are scarce) thus ordering via mail order is the only option.
Before ordering, here is my question, the Rock uses an 8mm threaded shaft, is it possible to substitute a shaft of another manufacturer, for example this:
"Spear threaded stainless steel Seac sub for Asso speargun pneumatic tyres Ø 8 mm"
I understand that one or both "ends" of the pneumatic spear shafts, the threaded tip and the part that enters the barrel are threaded on, and (may) be removable, is this correct? If not, is there a major difference between 8mm shafts of different manufacturers in regards to the end contacting the piston, such as "spear tail stop, metal "fence" and/or shock absorber design or are the shafts interchangable?
One more question, the 8mm shaft of Salvimar Rock, what is the tip thread size, (M7?), can sombody please confirm this?
Appreciate all replies, thank you kindly.
