"If it's Brown, flush it down." I hate UPS. Fed Ex works o.k., but even our incompetent Federal Government can do a better job than that with Priority Mail! I swear to God, If you mark a package "FRAGILE", the dipshits shipping it for you will do everything in their power to destroy the contents. I label all my shipments "INDESTRUCTABLE METALIC PARTS; DON'T BOTHER".

I guess they are referring to the hex socket which, since it's so small, could strip fairly easily if it hit the tab or the pilot hole was too tight. In that case the threads could make it hard to drive out, even if the hole was drilled all the way through. I've got some 0.1" spring stainless that I use for solid wire wishbones that would work great for a pin if you're still looking for something.

Some time ago I was asked to test a couple of Ihab’s (Nile Divers) mechanisms. I had just created a new test setup using a ‘hollow-ram’ hydraulic ram to provide the shaft force which I measured with a hydraulic pressure gauge. The prior test jig I had used, employed a hydraulic pull-back ram for the shaft force. I had calibrated the pull-back ram with one of those 1000 lbs scales guys use to weigh their record fish with --- and the pullback...

I have a JBL Magnum XHD. It has 3 5/8 X 24" bands and a 3/8" dia shaft. I could never get the thing to shoot right out of the box, and the bands kept coming out of the muzzle. It was very frustrating. So I designed a new muzzle for the gun and had a buddy of mine machine it out of delrin. It basically copies the Riffe open muzzle design. It works great now, and I've spanked a lot of fish with it, biggest one was a...

The Hammerhead leaves something to be desired with finishing. It feels very "cheapish" and looks like it was built by someone in his garage. Having said that it works very well and shoots quite accurately. I have 2 of them with 130cm barrels and it is very easy to load and shoot. The bands seem very thin, I think about 14mm or maybe even less, but they seem to be tuned to the gun and I don't think I would want to...

Guys, a lot of these speargun components are built in Asia where labour costs are very low, including the cost of manufacturing industry's supporting infrastructure, that usually means Taiwan or China. There are many grades of factories there that can pump out high quality, medium quality or indifferent quality and a lot of sub-contracting goes on, so quality of product can be variable. You can get a problem gun when it is slapped...
