5/16 flopper shaft

Anyone know of someone who makes a 5/16 flopper shaft for a riffe style mechanism?

I have used Riffe, Ray Odor, and Aimrite shafts, 5/16" flopper for "american style" mechs.

Re: 5/16 flopper shaft

I know I'm stating the obvious, but how about Riffe?

This guy make nice shafts, but I think he has a 2 piece minimum order on customs:

Yeah I saw riffe had them in their catalog they just weren't for sale at my dive shop or any website I could find, guess I'll go with Ray Odor.

Re: 5/16 flopper shaft

Ray makes great shafts at a great price, but the last two batches I have got from him needed some minor modifications to get them to lock into the trigger mech. Only a bench grinder was needed to make the mods though.

Re: 5/16 flopper shaft

Let's see.......Mori, Wong, Riffe, Ray Odor, Lou Bonsey(Spearcrafter's), and a bunch of small area distributors(A-Plus Marine in my area). Take your pick.IMHO Spearcrafter's makes a fine flopper shaft at a very reasonable price.

Call Greg or Vanessa at the Freedive Shop and they can get you anything you need.

Since you're in Fla., Ray might be the way to go....
