Re: 52" reef gun thread

Started the whole build over after tearing up my blank, and I went with teak this time. It turned out good enough for my 1st go round, but I see a lot of room for improvement if I try again. I still have to ballast and epoxy before its 100%.

Two questions... Do I keep the epoxy away from the track? What would be the best way to conceal any weight I add and where do you usually need it at. I have seen neptonics video for weighting the handle and like that technique... Will I need weight near the muzzle, too?

Actually looks like I will need to post the pics a different way... Not working from the phone right now

Re: 52" reef gun thread

You can epoxy the track. Conceal the lead under the handle or in the Butt. You will have to add some in the muzzle I presume and just use a teak plug.
