FS - Some extra speargun handles

It appears that I may have a bit of a handle problem. I don't intend to sell these on a regular basis, but I have built more different handles than I could ever use, so it's time to thin the herd a bit. No doubt that they are not as pretty as a carved wooden handle, but the Shapelock plastic makes it really simple to get a custom grip. Your choice for $65 shipped in the U.S.

I have two of this style that I made to be mortised into a 1/2" wide slot, for a pushrod application. Just drill from the side and pin it in place. The frame is black delrin, with a stainless trigger and 5/32" diameter stainless pushrod. It also has a stainless set screw from the front that works as an adjustable stop so that you can set the trigger position exactly where it is the most comfortable. Do this BEFORE you cut the pushrod to length, so as not to add any unexpected tension to the trigger mech while adjusting the trigger position. One has the black shapelock applied already. I can do the other with either black or white shapelock. The shapelock plastic is easily re-molded to fit your hand by heating in 150°-160° water for a few minutes.



I also have two of these aluminum frame style. I recently made one of these for a friend who really liked the Neptonics frame, but wanted a smaller and more angled grip. These are cut from 3/16" thick aluminum plate and are welded from the back of the mounting flange and then sanded flat. The top plate dimensions and screw holes match the pattern for the Alexander handle. The trigger guard is about the same length as the Alexander, but rounded and just a little deeper at its widest point. One already has the Shapelock applied, and I can do the other one with either black or white.

Great work once again Tin Man!! If I knew you would've been selling these I wouldn't have just bought two more handles. Well I guess I'll make due with what I have...

Take care... Tobin

Sorry Tobin! One delrin and one aluminum handle sold. Still have one delrin (no grip attached yet) and one aluminum (black right handed grip attached).

Bump.

Clockwise from top left:

Re: FS - Some extra speargun handles

I usually make them with the same size top plate as the Neptonics frames, which is 1-3/16" wide by 5-3/8" long). I think that is the same as the Alexander and Aimrite also. I drill a three hole pattern that is very close, but it probably won't end up perfect because the rear holes in the Alexander and Aimrite handles are drilled on a little bit of an angle. Because mine have a flat plate, I drill the holese straight.

So personally, if I were replacing one of the above handles, I would probably fill the existing holes with epoxy and re-drill.
