Hi Chris,
I have one of the early production CO2 guns in near mint condition.
Speaking with an old timer, these were very dangerous.  I think he stated
that the aluminum collar holding the surplus raft inflation CO2 would
corrode and then you had a big problem.  Also, I seem to remember thatt
there were trigger problems.  If I make it to a cave diving show, I'll try
to remember to bring it for your perusal (SP?).  Later!
