Rob Allen Timberline Roller Speargun

Overview

The Rob Allen Timberline Roller Speargun is a handcrafted roller speargun built around a carbon barrel with a mahogany oversleeve. Its hybrid construction adds mass and rigidity while the cuttlebone-shaped profile reduces the barrel’s vertical profile for easier tracking. Each gun is individually balanced for use across reef and offshore spearfishing applications.

Design and function

The roller muzzle keeps the bands working along more of the barrel during the loading and firing cycle, providing a high power-to-length ratio while retaining the maneuverability associated with a shorter gun. Ceramic nitride bearings are used in the roller assembly to improve roller-head efficiency.

The carbon-and-mahogany barrel combines the structural properties of the carbon core with additional reinforcement and mass from the timber oversleeve. Its shaped profile is designed to move more easily through the water while providing a stable platform during firing.

Shaft and shooting line

The speargun is configured with a double-notch spring steel shaft and Dyneema shooting line. The Dyneema rigging is specifically used to help reduce the possibility of the shooting line wrapping around the roller muzzle during operation.
