Our side stocks are made from Mahogony which is ideal for this purpose
because it is a beautiful hardwood that handles submersion in water well
yet it is very bouyant for a given volume which allows one to add the most
lead to achieve neutral bouyancy with significant increase in gun intertia.
Teak also works well, but won't allow as much mass for a given size of side
stock. Here are the dimmensions of a single side stock of each size (note
there are a pair attached to each gun):
- Small: 1.1" thick by 2" wide by 1.5 feet long
- Medium: 1.25" thick by 2" wide by 2 feet long
- Large: 1.5" thick by 2" wide by 3 feet long
- Extra Large: 1.5" thick by 2" wide by 4 feet long
Side stocks are attached to the speargun with two to four through bolts
depending on length of side stock, but you can use long wood screws
if alignment is going to be difficult.
Cut to desired shape and size. Route, sand, and finish.
Ballast and balance
your speargun.
