Re: Light tuna gun

I attach pic of whip inhibitor - seeking comment.

It has been removed from the stock of the gun prior to varnishing, and sits just behind its slot. I fabricated it from acetal (delrin) plastic.

I have put the final coat of polyurethane onto the gun, as well as some antislip on the butt and handle (sawdust, stuck onto wet polyurethane, then covered with two more coats of polyurethane). I allowed it a weekend to cure, and will re-assemble the gun today.

Then, as soon as the water looks calm enough, and clear enough, I plan to try some target shooting.
