This is my new speargun of choice: shop.castandspear.com/products/abellan-denton-110

I love rollers but sometimes a standard gun is just easier to setup

[@castandspear]

Totally agree

[@highvalleycowboy1]

Easier to set up but half the power…

[@sussusamogus8860]

meandros railguns are the best, i got one myself, their mechanism and trigger are amazing

[@castandspear]

Yeah they're solid. Thanks for stopping by!

[@kayb4995]

Did you end up liking this conversion after using it? I have a meandros too and love it; I would not think of converting it. But maybe I’m open to try a roller one day.

[@bobbystevens4087]

I copied the design of the salvimar tomahawk. The top band has a string inside to limit the stretch. It's connected to 2 bands on the bottom one of which you remove before loading. The inverted roller was disappointing, the pulley cuts your power in half. I've compared many designees in the pool and I like this the best.

[@werftv4580]

that gun is bad ass.. hell yeah

[@castandspear]

Works well!

[@mikes_in_paradise78]

Great job on this video!!

[@juderussellgamit649]

I wish I had one🥺

[@greenteamadventures]

Nice i have been thinking about doing that to my rob allen 👌🏽

[@castandspear]

Are you going to switch out the mech?

[@greenteamadventures]

@@castandspear probably not starting with the foam filling and to open muzzle for now

[@user-fr1rv3vb1c]

Why did you put foam in the barrel? Wasn't it a normal euro gun you were using, before converting it?

[@castandspear]

Add some mass plus sound dampening

[@angkit216]

Thanks bro good job

[@castandspear]

Thanks!

[@sugarfafie]

What’s sort of foam is used there?

[@castandspear]

2 part marine grade expanding foam. X-30 I believe

[@32LALY]

But the foam doesn’t make the speargun floating to much?

[@castandspear]

Nope, the tube was hollow before so the dense foam added some mass. It shot better filled

[@huntergathererspearfishing2603]

The measure of the 13 inches where the second blue tape was placed to stretch the bands to. How was that calculated?

[@castandspear]

I believe that was in the instructions that came with the roller head listing out the amount of pretension.

[@shanecriss5310]

Is there a way to add more bouncy to the muzzle on a roller pipe gun if it’s muzzle heavy?

[@pablodiego8438]

Is there a method to get rid of the foam in a barrel? I bought a foam filled cuttle fish barrel and id like to get rid of the foam and have it hollow and sealed instead for more buoyancy and less weight .

[@lennarthennig5063]

depends on the exact material of the foam but pouring in hexane or gasoline might help. Make sure to remove all plastic parts before.

[@castandspear]

Sorry, I've never removed foam from a barrel.

[@mikefue9597]

How do you do/tie wishbones for roller with loading wishbone? Been tryint to figure this out

[@Rawly84]

Hello, i'm wondering to know how to measure the bands, put the correct stretch. i have a meandros b28 too but with 85cm. I'm thinking to buy mvd roller kit. Thanks for the videos. 👍

[@castandspear]

Bands are tricky since it depends on rubber material, thickness, internal diameters, pre tension, etc. I’ve heard not so nice things about the mvd roller, just fyi. I was going to go with that one first, but after research decided not to.

[@Rawly84]

@@castandspear thanks man, i´m tented to try to convert, but i don´t know yet which kit i would buy. foaming the barrel reduce significantly the recoil? what bands are you using?? thanks ;)

[@castandspear]

@@Rawly84 the foam added a bit of mass, which helps some. It really helped the noise of the metal barrel be muted. I used 16mm small ID mannysub rubber for the bands.

[@Rawly84]

@@castandspear thanks man, Apreciate, good fishing days ;) [[]]

[@Janpva.]

okay.. but you also had to change the bands I guess...

[@werftv4580]

smoke em...
