Never heard from him, Guess he found a Job. I met a PhD Marine Biologist the other day. Got to make him some specialized parts for his work. Very interesting person and super smart as expected. I wish I had his job.

It was a long time ago, but Tony gave me my account on SB in an hour. my timing was good I guess. or he was in the office.

Well think of it this way, you are smart enough to understand that those typical paths to get a job will not work. You need to sit down in the corner of a quiet room and think.... Then think some more. How can you get in contact with the person you want to work for and what is his name? The...

Sam here is a typical tip, I made for some of my Buddies shooting Lings with Mares Pneumatics. I made this one for Aaron Crist that was in a time pinch for customer vacation. (Crist Spears). He's got the prints and should be making more of them with some enhancements knowing Aaron. -John

Got a Tip done and a small multi-part pole spear complete. The Shooter seems to be happy, It's in the gulf for testing... I came up with something a little different that what is on market. I did see some pretty good stuff out there. Lionfishhunting.com has their act together. Don't know...

On a different JBL gun, I had the trigger mech all apart to make it work consistently. The torsional spring catches and placement was questionable. I got it to work at the end, but I shouldn't have had to messing with it in the beginning. It was a brand new gun my buddy bought. It worked fine...

I made an adapter to Fill up to 160 psi with compressor. Don't need to pump them that much so I haven't made a Gauge assembly with regulator so one could fill with Scuba tank. On the "to do list" If I could find 3 - 4 folks that want one, might be worth doing. Hand pumping does get old when...

Send me your email and I will put you in contact with an owner of that gun. Owner feedback is better that sales marketing hype. Scuba or free diving use is an important aspect to gun choice too. (john@linghunt.com)

LOL, I'm in process of coming up with a pole spear/tip design so one diver and whack and stack a lot of them. Got hit last week with a couple requests. Been watching Videos on them. I just did not know the issue was there. It sounds like you want all the meat returned for your derby. If one...

That is interesting, I keep hearing how bad these Fish are off of Florida and other parts of the Gulf. Seemed like they are or should be open season to rid this non native fish from the area that is causing harm to other fish populations. I don't know, lots of media buzz on them. I had...

Hi, your gun looks like a Mares. or a copy-cat of some of their older versions. I have some 8 of these guns, and have been rebuilding them for many years for my buddies as well. They are really pretty easy to take apart. But I'm sure I struggle on the first one. If it's a Trigger leak, It's a...

Which gun and type depends on what you are trying to go after and Where. There are lots of guns out there and lots of folks into building their own as well. Lots of parts available for DIY. I like the Mares pneumatics for the low Vis Northern California Coast. I can reload fast and don't need...

I've not used any of these, but you might want to consider one of these. Not sure if it will hold up in salt water etc. Do a little research. Process is really neat and lots of videos out there how to do it. Looks like a few different vendors to research and compare.. Linghunt My Dip Kit -...

SAM, I got all kinds of tip in my collection of stuff. Not sure I want to part with any of them, I collect old tips, not baseball cards. Are you looking for a soft Tip that can be bent back into shape (mallable) or something really hard like a T1 tool steel that is drawn back some? Not sure...

What types of materials are you looking to paint? Stainless, Plastic, Wood, aluminum, carbon steel, etc. Be happy to comment with more info. -Linghunt

Sam, I was not planning on the SCUBA Show. I was looking up Samson tips. I think actually have one in my collection, mine has 3 wings at 120 degrees. The material in my tip was not very hard, did not really think much of it. You wouldn't happen to be baja haha from other forums? Same SDM

Sam, I heard the name before, I looked him up and lots of good information. He's a very interesting person. I was thinking it was a reference to Sturgeon's mill, but spelling was off. Sturgeon's Mill Restoration Project in Sonoma County Got last part out of CNC today for Pole Spear, going...

Amphibious, I have new Polespear design, that I have been work on for a bit. I'm only a few days away from making a complete spear. The old spears were fine, but I wanted a better spear. Stay tuned. -Linghunt (John)

Send me a sketch, I only shoot what my family can eat, I don't like freezing it. I'm one of them Abalone Divers that rarely takes a limit, I just look for a big one and get just a few each year for friends. Better recreation than golfing. Can't even make soup out those balls. lol I got...

Sam, I tend to make new parts based on my needs and ideas. DIY spearo divers are part of the custom work I do along with repairing parts (sheared off shafts etc). Local shops tend to have minimum costs, so this doesn't tend to be practical for simple parts. I do that work as a service not...
