Seems like you got some life out of your panther. I do have one in like new condition but have a possible solution for you. If the trigger mechanism is still good we used to machine off the all of the stock around the mechanism leaving the handle and mechanism in the form of a rectangular block without barrel and cocking stock. With a magohany board we would split the board and cut a receptacle for the handle and mechanism in opposite sides of the two split halves. Then with a two part glue powder and liquid the two barrel halves are joined and form a receptacle for the handle and trigger mechanism. It keeps the two halves working against each other and hence warping. It takes a table saw or radial arm saw for the woodworking and a machinst for the removal of the plactic around the handle. Benefits are that you can make your speargun the lenth that you would like. I have one that is a 60 inch shaft and another that is a 48. If it's interesting to you, I'll send some photos.
