Finished a gun for a friend
I will start by saying that Mahogany (Genuine) takes an awful lot of ballast! The size of the gun (57") made that aspect a real chore but I think the solutions were acceptable.
Specs: 57" long Midhandle Shoots 7.5 mm shafts 3 5/8" bands Positive with shaft out Shapelock handle Track is half open/half closed Coins for ballasting are from Brasil Neptonics Reef (Stealth) trigger mech So many freaking coats of epoxy (the Mahogany really soaks it up) Thanks for looking. Bubba.

Re: Finished a gun for a friend
Hey Gary;
I will check the inventory in the garage and see if I have another "stealth" line release and I will send it to you. I ordered some more Stealth Reef Mechs from Josh and when they arrived they did not have the stealth line release like the other ones I ordered but rather the typical ones you get with a Reef mech. I don't know if the black line releases are available anymore but I imagine if you call him, he will undoubtedly do whatever he can for you. Bubba.
