Pathos Rollergun Maintenance

[@BreathlessRSA]

Very informative Don! Keep them coming 🤙

Hi Don, I used your method of rigging the gun which worked best. I had the 90mm but the De’Angelo 2 trigger mech failed so got the gun changed under warranty for a 100mm same as yours. One issue with the roller head is the little plastic bit that sticks out the front, this was brittle and broke off. It looks like it shouldn’t do much but it makes loading the gun easier so removed Pathos roller head and replaced with MVD head. Now I don’t have the kicker band but I can load faster. I found there wasn’t much clearance under the bridle to get the spear through but no such problem with the MVD head. It would be good to see Pathos come out with a few different roller head designs. Do you know if any non Pathos reels fit the gun just incase I can’t get a Pathos one? Love the guns accuracy.

I only use Pathos reels. I have fitted other reels for customers the issue is the space between the floater and the grip, so that would be something to consider. Pathos reels are brilliant. I'm busy doing a video now on Pathos reel use and maintenance.

@@donsolomon8501 sounds good, just sometimes issues sourcing gear here in Australia. Actually right now there’re issues sourcing a lot of things, strange times. If I could get hold of a Pathos reel I’d use one.

Is it heavy at the tip? I have the sniper-r 85 and I had to glue the neoprene under the head because it was too negative.

[@donsolomon8501]

What spear are you using? I don't have that trouble. Neoprene ballast would be very inconsistent. Another option is to take the roller head out and remove some of the ballast, not all. Find a happy medium. But this all depends on what spear you use.

@@donsolomon8501 Spear pathos 7 mm, original length. However, with the neoprene I have recovered the trim and it no longer weighs at the tip. The problem also gives it with other lighter spears... but I solved it

Hi don, just sobering if you have had any experience changing out the roller mech to something that runs on bearings? Thanks
