Brad,all I had a listing for was a 55/75 G.T.Trad. and that is a 2216.Some will disagree but I've found both ends tapered is favorable.Less shock to adhesive on entry and of coarse for removal.I'm soon to buy one and try it out on my 55/75 gt nugents

2117 will not fit, i think it's 2216 or 2219 i have G/T 5575 and have tried the 2117 and they are just barely too small.

ok i just thought do the inserts have to come out to foot because if not then to get over the insert there would be a .006 gap between the aluminum or does the glue fill that gap please bear with me im new and a lil slow to boot but i want to learn as im typing this should i take out the insert then foot so the insert rides on the aluminum foot to keep it from pushing back or am i wrong

They should slide over the inserts.

I just footed some 3555's tonight for the first time.  I used 2117's. I had to sand the insert and shaft a bit to rough them a bit them the arrow slipped over the end.  they were tight but i would rather have them tight than loose.
