Lo!

I ordered a RA carbon 90 with a closed muzzel but could not refuse the offer of a thrown in composite reel and open muzzle. I managed to switch the muzzles over with little mishap but I don't have the confidence to even attempt to attach the reel.

I really can't justify even attempting to drill a carbon barrel to attach the reel mount. I do have abit of experience with bodging jobs but surely the price of a RA carbon demands a person that knows what they are doing to attach the reel? ...or am I just thinking thinking the job is more technical than it actually is and should just get on with it myself?

Cheers

(I have shot the gun with 1 wrap of multi and I came to the conclusion RA does not make spearguns, he makes laserguns.)
 
I have a RA composite reel (as well as two RA stainless reels) but I attached mine to a wood gun. However, I'm pretty sure I've read that later RA guns have a plug in the barrel extending up to where the screws penetrate it.
