Taimen - Russian pneumovacuum speargun

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Latest version with new front hub integrating line slide holder. "O" ring now clips into the hub face for frictional fit of the slider into the front of hub to ensure a straight push on the shaft when loading the speargun. Note new line wrap hook that uses one of the unused carabineer holes in muzzle front face..


Compare with the previous front hub. Parts will still be available for the earlier guns.

This new redesign is something similar or same as I have in my Salvimar-Tomba adapter.
As you say: " "O" ring now clips into the hub face for frictional fit of the slider into the front of hub to ensure a straight push on the shaft when loading the speargun." It serves not only to ensure a straight push on the shaft, but also to alowe some bending of it so making the loading easier - more fluent.
Possible jamming of the shaft during loading was the main issue of the previous design - at least I saw it so based on my previous experience with early Tomba that had the same issue.
