Hey everyone, I am new to this board my name is Jeff and I just wanted to say "hey". I am not new to spearfishing, freediving and scuba. I never really devoted much time to improving my spearfishing prowess and usually seemed to always get lucky when I would go I would always come home with a decent catch nothing trophy sized but usually a few meals worth. This past holiday season I received a new gun for Christmas from my girlfriend I had always been saying I wanted another gun and she surprised me with a RIFFE competition 2XS. Which has re sparked my spearfishing itch I consider myself a novice at knowledge of gun makers but I really like the feel and power of this gun. What upgrades would any of you recommend for this gun? It is standard with a threaded double wing tip instead of the single hawaiian flapper shaft. I mainly do beach dives locally in the OC area from San O to Newport. I also do quite a bit of kayak diving as well. What type of maintenance should I perform on a regular basis on the gun aside from a freshwater rinse after each use? how often should I oil the stock and what other key areas should I hit with oil from time to time? Thanks in advance for any advice given.

Thanks,
Jeff

what's up Jeff, I've been following the thread on rc (Miguel from FraggleReef), feel free to pm me if you want to head out

for gun upgrades I'm sure people will chime in shortly, I don't use wooden guns too much

Welcome Jeff! Jay Riffe sell a nice little kit with two oils in it. One is for reconditioning as I recall and the other is for maintenance. Using that teak oil is a good thing and it wil keep the gun shining. Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome guys, Miguel, are you going with the RC group next Sunday?

ah, unfortunately I'm going to be moving my shop into a new warehouse next weekend so I probably won't be there, but most likely if there's a next one I will be
