Riffe Speargun Line Rigging

[NateDog]

Hey guys, I just bought my first Riffe speargun, but I bought it without the shock cord shaft, or bands. I know what to buy, but, I am not completely sure about how to rig the line, I know that many of you here use riffe guns, if you could explain it and show some pictures, I would be extremely greatful, thank you

ok i dont have pictures but have a couple of riffes, here goes:
1 - Lock the spear into the trigger mech until you hear a "click"
2 - Take the line from the spear (if i recall correctly its attached to one of the spear fins) and run it to the muzzle (the front of the gun)
3 - there is a little metal plate on the left side of the barrel on the front of the gun, run the line UNDER it, then over the spear, then into the line guide (the little line groove on the top right hand side of the gun) thus fixing your spear in place..
4 - Run the line to the back again and over the line release mechanism (the metal part sticking out on the right hand side of the gun towards the back)...
If your gun is already rigged (i.e if the line is already attached by a bungee to the metal loop on the bottom side of the gun in the front, then this should do it..If not then basically run the line back to the top and attach to the bungee cord to the top of the gun (on the stainless steel eye on the bottom)..

ok, that is a huge help, i had been trying to go off of pictures that i have seen on google, thank you very much. That is how i thought it went, seeing that when i rigged it that way it seemed to fit well, but now im sure, thanks again
