RA shafts in Rabitechs?

[Prodigal Son]

Does anyone know if Rabitech Apex guns use Rob Allen shafts?

[deepdown]

Yes, they do.

Why prodigal have you found a good deal on shafts.

Please share.

I have had problems in the past with shafts fitting into the Rabitechs. Some do and others do not. The key seems to be the cut out on the rear of the shaft. Before buying, I would verify that the shaft is ground from the top and bottom. More specifically, if you look and the shaft from the side, it should have a slight indentation on the top of the spear running from behind the notch to the rear of the spear. I ordered 4 shafts from a dealer in NoCal about two years ago. Two shafts worked and two did not. However, it was simply corrected by grinding the indentation myself. Hope that helps.

No, I don't have a source. I just wanted to know my options. I'm trying to decide on getting either an aluminum 110cm Rabitech or RA. One of my concerns is replacement parts. There are more RA dealers in the US than Rabitech. I'm leaning towards the Rabitech ever since I shot EEZerik's carbon Apex in the water, though his 130cm gun is way too long for me. It's a solidly built gun and very light for its size, though lateral tracking was tough. However, I still can claim a 20% discount on a RA gun from a dealer in CA. Ugh, decisions, decisions.

BTW, thanks for the info Rabispear.
