Mike's Archery out of Ironton, OH.
I don't know if they still deal in them, but that is where I always used to get mine when I shot aluminum.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Easton Legacy aluminum shafts/arrows have a swaged end.

If so, then many dealers of trad equipment should be carrying them.

There was a good thread on this topic a week ago. Do a search. Swaged shafts are good stuff.

[cbCrow]

Look at Easton site they have several. Legacy, blues,jazz and one or two others.

Don't know what size you are looking for but these are for sale in the classifieds:

Mike's Archery does all my swagging.

[jon_j]

I think Lost Nation Archery still handles them.

Whatever happened to R J Archery in Montana? That's where I used to get mine. They were good people. (nut)

Question from a woodie shooter......what is 'swagging'?

[JimB]

Bjorn,they swage the end of the alumium tube into a 5 degree taper,rather than installing a seperate taper.

[Zradix]

I guess Mikes Archery does em.

I called The Footed Shaft today and they do them for $1.00 an arrow.  The legacy arrows has a tapered nock end but it won't accept a broadhead.

[Shinken]

There used to be 5 degree swaged arrows available that were made through two different processes:  1) hammered swage and 2) spin swage.  The hammered swage process produced a stronger connection than what is produced with the spin swage process.

R J Archery, mentioned above, is where I bought all of my hammer swaged 2219s and 2216s in my early years of archery hunting, but I do not know what the current status is with R J Archery.

Good luck with your search!

Shoot straight, Shinken
