Item Description
MAKO Enclosed Tracks for Wood Spearguns (two sizes) (6.5mm to 7.5mm) = ¼” To 19/64”) and (8.0mm to 9.0mm) = (5/16” to 3/8”)
The MAKO 55 inch long Enclosed Track is the most versatile and easy to install enclosed track for both professional and casual speargun builders.
It was designed by Jeff DeRocher (AKA Tin Man), inventor of the MAKO AR15 speargun handle.
Here are a few of the features of the MAKO enclosed track, important to speargun builders
- One track fits both 6.5mm (1/4”) and 7.5mm (19⁄64") spears.
- One track fits both 8.0mm (5/16”) and 9.0mm (3/8”)
- 55 inches long can be cut down and shaved.
- The T shape design eliminates tricky dove tails.
- No more pouring and cracked epoxy.
- Jeff designed this Enclosed Track with an inverted T profile which uses 2 standard router bits for easy installation.
- Made of machinable HDPE so it can be planed down if you want to open the muzzle area.
- The track simply slides in and is held in place by a recessed screw.
- The wood is free to expand and contract while the track “floats” in the groove and is virtually impossible to damage.
- And, in the highly unlikely event it does become damaged, such as during an un intended bomb drop from an F-18, it can be replaced in about 30 seconds.
Here are a few of the features of the MAKO enclosed track, important to spearos:
- Increased accuracy.
- Reduces spear whip while increasing range.
- Faster reloading. Simply drop the spear in and let it fall into the mech.
- Perfect for line shafting and free shafting.
