hi guys, i have partially built an enclosed track 1.4m mid handle gun. It is made of 3x19mm jarrah boards that i laminated and squared up. Size is about 1500 long, 53 wide, 44 high. At this stage i have a straight blank with an enclosed 8mm track poured and routed out. The pocket for the neptonics trigger mechanism is also cut out. The handle frame and pushrod track are also cut.
My main question is about the notch in the spear. Is a Riffe trigger notch the same as an undersea? I dont want to buy the spear yet $100+, as i have already hit the credit card hard. But if an undersea spear works, i can probably scrounge one up from a mate for a test fit. I really need to fit the spear up before i pin the mechanism in place.
Once the trigger mech is pinned i can then fit the line release and round all the edges.
The gun is not really useful for Victoria, but i do get to Cairns once a year. Its not the normal timber guns style i have done before. If it works out ok, i may make something similar out of teak etc, minus any mistakes i have made this time around.
I will try to get pics up soon. thanks tim
