This gun is still under my development plan. It has a ported inner barrel and modified trigger assembly.
I traded out the stock piston for a later model and will be examining the OEM piston in a scope as I did all the stressed parts. I plan on pushing this kited gun to high pressures until the piston fails. Then it will see some Ti bits I'm making.

Cheers, Don

Awesome, the amount of changes, the woodwork is beautiful, congratulations, dry barrel system you are using looks good, specific for Airbalete, the other systems (Tovarich, Mamba and others) I am not convinced with the arrow and the line.

Gratias Jose, I have been tintering with air guns going back to 83. My boat partner was a Engineer for Scuba Pro and we did some crazy shite. Playing with this one brings back fond memories of the good times we had, and the oil and gun bits we scattered the deck with. We had 2 140cm ScubaPro pneumatics that were built for the Italian World Team that were pumped to 35Bar..... I still have one. Some where I have a Ti barrel I had machined for it, but baseball and the GF get the attention.

Cheers, Don

Yes, this gun is dialed in. I have spoken directly with a friend that is the importer. I will be getting one as well. We can FART together.

Cheers, Don

Default GoPro Airbalete Mount

I received a GoPro Hero 2 for my birthday as a gift from my GF. Dan @ Speardiver/Pursuit dialed her in with a LCD backpack screen and a 32gb card.Thanks Dan ! My son had it in Tahiti and New Zealand for a few weeks chasing sharks and it came back in one piece. The local water vis is poor due to a red tide, so I started fab'ing a mount from a carbon/Boron tube I had laying around. The tube will have some compliance/flex to dampen the slight recoil affect on the camera. Tomorrow I'll finish the Titanium hardware and post the details.

Cheers, Don

oooh we're going to get some interesting videos

I'm assuming you mounted it on the right to have free access to the reel handle.

I'm sure you were going to do it, but just pointing out anyways to add a spacer/washer between the two tabs so you can really cinch down the Gopro housing turn knob.
