When I had my FMJ's they were the 500's. I footed them with a 1916. And the were pretty tough.

What size are they...500, 400, 340? They are all different diameters. I have some 400's I footed with 2018's but they were pretty tight.

Ok I've just checked with all the uk dealers that sell metal arrows & 2018's are like rocking horse poo !!! Being as its the inside of the shaft. That matters ( ie 20 ) would a 2016 fit ? That's a more popular size in the uk .

I think if I had had 2016 shafts that is what I would have used. As i said, the FMJ shafts are a few thousands more than a regular Axis so the 2016 should be ok. Use an epoxy like JB Weld. It is thick and is very tough when cured.

Measure the outside diameter of the FMJ's. This will let you know what size aluminum arrow you need to use.....DaveMP

John,
The 2016's will work just fine I have used those also, the 2018's are just a fuzz (technical term) tighter.
