75gr Steel Adaptors, Did they fix the breaking issue?

and again..who can supply the good ones?

I have been using the black ones from Braveheart and 3 rivers and have not had any issues with them.

I throw in another two cents as apparently there is still some confusion on these.

The silver ones tradtusker posted look just like Magnus aluminum 7075 adapters, which are excellent adapters but are high grade aluminum. I don't know where tradtusker got those in steel, but I believe you'll find most steel adapters are much darker in color.

The only adapter I'm aware of that had any problems was an old run of 75's, I'd not be concerned about 100's or 125's of any make.

Thank you for all your inputs

the ones i have pictured are "Steel" unplated uncoated like Bob said, Not Aluminum

when i found out they where no longer being made i bought every one of them i could find in 125grs

the story i got (could be wrong correct me if i am)
was that kustom king had them made by a big machine shop, forget the name of the business. several other smaller archery businesses also got a supply from them, when kustom king tried to reorder from them they said they would only do it at a MUCH bigger minimum quantity and increase the price so they decided against it. thats the story as i understood it.

I believe those were the ones that, in the 75 grain weight, were breaking quite frequently.

Abowyer has 75 grain in grey steel , I bet they are good ones.

If the 100gr are good you could maybe take some off the length and get them down to 75gr.
