BTW are we too far into the shape of the gun to make the forward wide wings? I have them on my Riffe, and they stabilize the gun nicely (or is that just because of the length and power of that particular gun - 139cm and 3 9/16 bands)
I think the wings are more suitable for a gun the length of your 140. The point of a 90 seems to me to be the optimal maneuverability. If you add wings moving the gun up and down in the water column will be very difficult. If im not mistaken, the wings on larger guns are used to reduce recoil and shaft whip. I dont think they would be necessary for a 90
