Re: Light tuna gun

Watch that radiata pine- we call it Norfolk or cook island pine here, and it is just about the weakest timber I have worked with. I understand that you will be making another gun, this being a test, but I worry about the integrity of the stock under 4 bands. Also, I would think the flex in the weaker pine might cause the gun to shoot quite different than a gun of a solid hardwood.
