These two guns may have been born at the same time, from the same plank of teak, and have the same dimensions, but there are some very subtle differences.

Dave's gun was the first to get the trademark Sea Sniper "Cross-hairs" logo on the stock.

Joe's gun fires an 11/32" shaft while Dave's shoots a 5/16" shaft. All other features of the guns are standard, including Mori slip-tips and polished shafts.

Dave's gun remains at the Sea Sniper shop while not in use to show clients (he lives close by), while Joe was more like a kid at Christmas with a new bike. He won't be parting with that gun anytime soon; at least until the wheels fall off. That's the reason we don't have any photos of his gun!

We'll post some pictures of Joe and his gun when we head back down for the white sea bass season!
