Florida Freedivers sell Rob Allen gear. Rob Allen spears are spring steel (why do you care?). I believe most Rob Allen spears have a euro-style curved notch for the trigger mech (rather than a square American style notch).
He's asking about Cyrano shafts, which is a pneumatic gun. It uses 7 mm shafts. In South Florida you can get them at Austin's Diving and at Leisure Pro.Florida Freedivers sell Rob Allen gear.

You can also get them from Maverick America. I believe the Mares shafts are compatible with the Salvimar. I had a carbon steel that tended to rust, I upgraded to the stainless steel. But carbon steel flexes less, so it is easier to load if i add pressure to the speargun, but now I am using the stainless that does not rust/oxidize (i always rinse the speargun in fresh water at home)Are there any place/store where I can buy spring steel or other high quality steel spear shaft for mares Cyrano in South Florida?

The most common steel for the air guns' shaft is a 17-4 ph spring temper H900oAre there any place/store where I can buy spring steel or other high quality steel spear shaft for mares Cyrano in South Florida?
Thanks!
You need a 7mm shaft made of either 17-4 PH spring temper (H900 condition) or Sandvik steel. Sandvik is more expensive. Any shaft will bend under a certain condition. The best source for shafts is Europe (cheaper to buy a premade shaft from Europe than buy a tempered rod, threaded it, attach a flopper, etc). Buy several to save on shipping: https://www.scubastore.com/scuba-di...-for-pneumatic-guns-single-barb-7-mm/137427/pAre there any place/store where I can buy spring steel or other high quality steel spear shaft for mares Cyrano in South Florida?

You can contact Maverick America, they distribute Salvimar, Omer etc in the USA. They may be able to sell it directly. or from leisure Pro.I just noticed that they can not ship it to the USA??? What the heck?
Dude, this website periodically stops shipping certain brands to the USA. When I gave you the link it was shipping. You should have loaded up back then! Plus now dollar is weaker against Euro, much weakerI just noticed that they can not ship it to the USA??? What the heck?

That's the reason scubastore doesn't ships to the USA. There's a "representative agreement" between several brands and some american companies (reps) that do not allow european stores to sell to any USA based customer. Additionally, USA stores do not buy directly to european manufacturers, but through these "reps" that take their share without adding much value other than increasing the final price...You can contact Maverick America, they distribute Salvimar, Omer etc in the USA. They may be able to sell it directly. or from leisure Pro.
I believe they ship again to the USA - try now!Thanks, my friend!
No. They don't. Thare's a monopoly. Better to find a phisical shop in Europe that ships to the USA or try ebay.I believe they ship again to the USA - try now!
I just checked - you can at the moment. It changes all the time. I was able to purchase items that were impossible to add to basket in other periods of time. Sigalsub tahitian shafts for airguns cost more than Salvimar. All these tahitian shafts are made from 17-4PH spring temper (including Mares shaft that comes with the gun) and are the same quality.No. They don't. Thare's a monopoly. Better to find a phisical shop in Europe that ships to the USA or try ebay.
They do ship Sigalsub shafts to the USA, which in my opinion are similar quality than Salvimar. As I don't know the lenght of your Cyrano, I can't share the right link.

However, Mares Cyrano original shafts are not that bad.
I have called them. They don't have any...Florida Freedivers sell Rob Allen gear. Rob Allen spears are spring steel (why do you care?). I believe most Rob Allen spears have a euro-style curved notch for the trigger mech (rather than a square American style notch).
How reliable is this store? I just checked their reviews and they seem to be not legit... Did you order from them in the past? Thanks sooooo much!No. They don't. Thare's a monopoly. Better to find a phisical shop in Europe that ships to the USA or try ebay.
