15-140 AR Dog issues

[Keta]

As of now I am on hold again on the 15-140 project.   The spring hole is not something I have the tooling to drill.   Working on it but if I have to pay to get them drill them it will drive the price up, I will keep the price as low as possible, $3.50 + drilling cost.

Would a slot in the 15-140 dog and a 14-99 or 14-500 spring work?  I think the spring can be installed.

Lee, do we have any hope on the spring hole?  What would the added cost be?  Depending on the answers, I would consider something like a 500-type spring.

320

Did u catch it with the 320, I have a 330 rarely use not to comfortable with the frame. After seeing that size of fish I might start using it a bit more.

The reel needs a new gear set and time in my shop. I use a ABU 6501 at times for them.  A 112H,  113H or Jigmaster size reel is enough for keepers, not so good for ovetsize.

How large do the oversized ones get? The latest gears and bridge for the 4/0 might do a good job on them.

Up to 20' and 1600 pounds.

Hey, Lee, I know you threw up your hands on this project because of tooling issues with drilling the hole, but would you again consider the slot?  I would be good for a half dozen pieces.  Thanks.

Going to the trouble of drilling that hole might not be worth it with the 14C-140's discontinued.

A modified dog to use a 14-99?

I'd definitely be interested in stocking them if they were doable.

I'll take a half dozen if this happens
