Mares Spark Shaft -UK

[BajanShark]

Managed to bend the shaft on my Spark110 and this time it is beyond repair :waterwork. Which shafts could I use as a replacement? Are the insert ends (bases) of the same on the cressi and the mares?? Ideally I'd like something in a better tempered (spring) steel.

Thanks Guys.

I don't know if the Spark uses a 7 or an 8 mm spear but Salvimar could be an option. The supposedly make nice spears and now carry an Air range.
Also, Sigalsub makes some.

But maybe now is the time to upgrade to a dry barrel kit?
There is a chance that could influence what type of spear you'd want.

Perhaps figure out who are the local distributors of these brands in the UK. Or you might want to hit up a few Italian web shops. They tend to have good prices and if shipping is fair, then since it's within the EU you might not end up paying more than you would locally.

Mares spear tail is different from the Cressi unit, but you can unscrew the tail and change it over to a new shaft. Search on spring stainless steel shafts for pneumatic spearguns, 7 mm OD for your gun. Spark, Cyrano and Stealth are basically the same gun. Sten 11 uses the same 11 mm ID inner barrel as the others mentioned.
