More mamba mods!

Here we go again - poor old test gun is looking a bit battered!

A few bits of pipe & a few tools.
Get the grinder out.
Bit of glue.
& a new sleeve.

Nice work mate

[azapa]

nice one foxy! as usual, I'm trying to work here and your making me think of spearing DIY, one of the best past times in the universe...

keep it up!

[foxfish]

Well I have just given the gun a few coats of blended red paint including the handle, next will be some camo brown shading.

my fun this weekend was painting a faded Beuchat canvas bladder type float with flourecent orange paint for a comp. the coming weekend! Off topic BUT it worked! Paint those faded floats with Flourecent paint!

You are in a different league foxy!

Are those outer tubes using water ballast?

[foxfish]

Not sure yet? Good idea though Depends when I water test it (paddling pool)
A Comp "A" you haven't said much about that?

[Pastor]

to be honest i'm not expecting to do too well, no bicycling to work in the past 3 months, murky waters at the beach so not much diving, and a nasty reverse squeeze in my sinuses to boot... I'll be competing against guys who dive every other day and spearfish >20M....

I was competing in first division, but I think I'll start this year back in 2nd...

there: excuses out the way, I will report how I do on Monday.WISH ME LUCK!

[settingsteel]

GOOD LUCK mate...go set some steel

[Magpie]

Confidence Az, with the combined knowledge of DB behind you how can you fail! Go get 'em mate.

[T2K]

what's the point of all that added bulk? isn't much less maneuverable now?

[foxfish]

Hi T2k, you dont give much info on your profile, where are you from?
If you have ever owned a mamba you may be one of the lucky ones who find they can shoot fish straight out of the box? If not you will understand how frustrating it is to own such a powerful gun & not be able to hit a barn door?
The main bulk of the design has been added to the rear of the gun - that wont really effect the maneuverability but it will make the gun more stable in the water?
If you stick around db long enough you will soon discover I will use any excuse to mod a gun - normally because I like to make them look good!

[foxfish]

I still have a few things to finish but what do you think of - Red camo!
