If you are going to buy your bands pre-made I would get at least 26" bands, if not 28". Any authorized Riffe dealer should have what you are looking for; package of three pre-made bands. Ideally, it would benefit you to learn how to tie your own bands. It will save you money in the long run and you will be able to make them what ever length you want. I believe that Daryl sends that gun out with a 26", 27", and 28" band, all in 5/8". I have my MGS rigged with 4 9/16" bands(25, 26, 27 and 28") It is much easier to load and it shoots very smoothly. joel mcqueen 08-19-2007, 04:00 PM i tie my own bands now just dont have the braided line wong uses for wishbones Roland 08-19-2007, 04:25 PM Try this http://www.spearfishinggear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DW813&Category_Code=W1 Dont really need the beads but.... seacrecher 08-19-2007, 04:33 PM i tie my own bands now just dont have the braided line wong uses for wishbones Try this. It's what I have been using. The Dyneema wish bones mentioned above work well. I use them on my smaller guns. However they wear out quickly. http://www.neptonicsystems.com/spectra.htm joel mcqueen 08-19-2007, 05:30 PM john so you use 1/8 spectra and tie a good knot in the ends ?? is the spectra braided ?? Bill McIntyre 08-19-2007, 05:40 PM I've had good luck with this 3 mm Marlow Spectra that I get from Mori. It outlasts the rubber. I just tie a simple overhand knot in each end. joel mcqueen 08-19-2007, 07:03 PM sounds good bill ill get some . might try a bowline in each end though .got plenty of whipping twine seacrecher 08-20-2007, 12:56 AM john so you use 1/8 spectra and tie a good knot in the ends ?? is the spectra braided ?? Yes to all. |
