Tutorial: Convert Your Old Euro Muzzle to Accept Bulk Rubber
Posted by MAKO Spearguns on Jan 11th 2023
Our stainless steel euro spearguns muzzle adapters allow you to convert your old speargun to accept bulk rubber and bridle wishbones so you don't have to use euro latex and metal wishbones ever again
In your MAKO Spearguns Attack Pack Tool Kit you will need:
- B) Food Grade Silicone
- C) Measuring tape
- D) Pliers
- F) Scissors
- H) Lighter
You will also need:
- I) Primeline Latex Tubing
- J) Band Tying Line
- K) 2 Stainless Steel Euro Muzzle Adapters
- Optionally, you will also need a corded wishbone, an Articulated Wishbone (L), or a Screw-on Wishbone (M)
NOTE: Bridle wishbones are to be used only with shafts with "Sharkfin Tabs", Pinned Tabs" or shafts with "rounded notches". "Unrounded notched shafts" will cut through bridle wishbones.
WARNING: Some speros will file their notches to accept bridle wishbones, however this process weakens an already weaker shaft and increases the chance of a broken shaft.
MAKO Spearguns offers only high quality shafts with "Pinned Tabs" or "Sharkfin Tabs" that are almost 50% stronger than notched spears.
The bridge on the MAKO closed muzzle has been raised to accept these pin tabbed shafts. Do Not use these spears with conventional closed muzzles.

Our stainless steel euro muzzle adapters allow you to convert your old euro gun to accept bulk rubber and bridle wishbones so you don't have to use euro latex and metal wishbones ever again.
STEP 1
Measure and cut 2 bands to length. Spray euro muzzle adapter ball with silicone and using a pair of pliers, insert ball into tubing.
STEP 2
Use band tying line to tie a constrictor knot to secure the muzzle adapters into tubing. Line up constrictor knot and use pliers to tighten knot. YOU MUST PULL HARD! Then turn tubing over and tie a 2nd constrictor knot on the back side of the tubing.
STEP 3
After tying the second constrictor knot on the opposite side of where the first constrictor knot was tied, remove excess material and burn ends to prevent fraying.
STEP 4
Screw euro muzzle adapters into muzzle and check to make sure the bands are of equal length. Trim if necessary.
STEP 5
At his point, there are 3 options as listed below. For safety reasons, we recommend option #1.
Option #1
Purchase a "pinned Tabbed Shaft" or Sharkfin Tabbed Shaft" and use a corded style wishbone instead of the French wishbone. DO NOT try to use corded wishbones with un-rounded notched Euro shafts.
Option #2
If you are dead set on staying with your non rounded euro notched shaft and want to stay with a French wishbone, you can install our "Articulated Wishbones for Bulk Rubber".
Option #3
If you are still dead set on staying with your non rounded euro notched shaft and want to stay with a French wishbone, you can install 2 additional pieces of our Euro Muzzle Adapters" on the wishbone end of your rubbers and then install a "Screw on French Articulated Wishbone".
