Hi Majd. Ron Smith from Truckee California here. First off, I want to thank you for all the extremely helpful testing and videos you do for us! Second, I have a quick question. I just bought a 60cm Meandros B-28 gun for hole hunting in NorCal. The gun looks extremely well built, but I’ve been reading some of the threads regarding galling with reverse trigger mechanisms. I’m only running two, standard id, 14mm bands at 2.8:1 stretch, and honeltly will only load one band most of the time. Should I be concerned with this mechanism? Thanks!
Ron.
Hi Majd. My name is Aaron. You have helped me in the past with great advice (along with your posts) and I'm hoping to glean a little more wisdom from you. I am getting ready to cut some bands for a custom gun project. I'm going to use dyneema loops and bridles for a quick release wishbone setup. I read once of you referencing that varying the length of the back band wishbone will help it sit flat/level with the front band. Do you have a rule of thumb for this? I'm using 13mm small hole primeline bands with around 42.5 inches/ 44 inches band stretch. Thank you for your time. I'm going to ask this on the gun build forum; I'm sure a bunch of people would find it interesting and helpful.
Re tail lift leaving the mech with lighter shafts - I shape my muzzle slots to keep the bands as high as possible and in line with the shaft, working with dense wood helps as can slim things right down up for’d. Just shaping vitex muzzle for the carbon pipe now
Hi Majid, I hear your concerns to avoid politics, and many thanks for the offer to access the video link, which i promise not to share. PS my Albacore in teak is gorgeous, not sure when i will have next good visibility in Panama to try it out... ciao Stefano
Hi Majd
I am sure thousands of your fans are waiting eagerly for the videos of the tests you did with the italian guy from Deep Blue...please do not keep the suspense for much longer. :-) by the way I am waiting for the arrival of one of the first Albacore 130 in teak.... Ciao, Stefano
Hi spearQ8
Can you tell me if the new ermessub roller trigger mech would fit into my Bleutec oceanborn which is about 4 years old.
Also I'm sorry to see all the crap you've had to put up with due to comments on the seal gun....a gun which I have in 1.1 mt and it is also a huge disappointment in regards to a shocking trigger,the cost and no where near the claimed power in fact my 105 raptor would piss all over it...anyway I've put it down to a learning experience to not believe all the hype a gun designer may tell you!!
Anyway if you could let me know if the trigger would fit and where to source them from it would be most appreciated.
Thank you
