spearguns :)

[Simon G]

you can always shorten it or seal the corroded area with silicone

to late i jumped on it and now its in a very bad shape 

a few hours ago i went for an other one the beuchat marlin competition 85 so it will replace it

what do you think about the marlin 

[Simon G]

have you still got the handle and head I might use them as spare parts for mine
the marlin is a very good gun i have never used the 85 but this should be as good as the others

[big one]

tommorow i call the police to see what i need to retern from it to clear it from my license and then i tell you but i think only the triger is good and maybe the rubber handle

[Simon G]

that would be great as i use and abuse my guns and tend to need triggers often

what do you think about the marlin 

this winter I ll be using an 85cm Marlin Carbone Eite for seabass. Ill try it with dubble rubber. Same spear and should stand long shoots

don t know your use of this gun so an suggest if carbone or aluminum

yesterday I got the expansion foam  so to fix the viper . when I opened it ( viper) I saw some corrosion on the inside about 6in from the front , when I opened it last time before summer there were no corrosion . then I took of the black plastic cover and I found the leak. it was a crack like which is now corroded too . I don't know how it cracked cos I cant remember that I ever did something to cause it . so now my viper is rip ,

do I have to take it to the police so that they can remove it from my license

I have a 90cm viper, for me its a very good gun but same problem. It floods sometimes. I changed the rubber seals inside one trigger side and the other in the front. As you said the plastic that is compressing the rubber seal cracks if you tighten then screw a lot.
I had my friend and had one made for me with his lathe and I thought I solved the problem.
After about a year same problem. I changed the seals again and till now its fine.
A thing you have to check while tightening the screw ,especially if your tube is corroded is that when you place the seal it doesn't get torn by the tube metal or you will have placed the seal for nothing. The tube must not have sharp edges.

its aluminum , i tryed it and is accurate but the buoyancy is a bit negative . how can i improve the buoyancy?

[EmicMalta]

thats why im going for carbon.  I don t know what can you make so it comes lighter but even we use the 75 in aluminium and we work fine. Tho only reason i take the 85 carbon so that will be with a 85, 105 and 125 all of carbon. The 85 carbon for seabass in the shallow should be very light even to move it with a double band

Ithink the beauchat have the handles and their reels a little bit heavier than others .Maybe they are more resistant than other spearguns.I am saying this cause I tried the beauchat (aluminium ones) and found it very negative in buoyancy than I switched back  to my old mate the Apache (aluminium)which is very light in water that if it is left alone ,the Apache will  not sink

thats my problem , but i will think of somthing to improve it .

[EmicMalta]

For that reason I wrote the Marlin and not the mondial. The marlin is very lighter

It's a question of taste - I use the Mundial Elite 100 in aluminium. It's heavy and with the Mundial reel it's a quick sinker. But I prefer a heavy gun, for the simple reason that it reduces the recoil of the shot and renders the shots much more precise.

my is a marlin  competition kand its not that heavy but it sink . now i took of the reel and i will try it like that but i think it will still sink

[Robert]

yes it still sinks
