Anyone ever tried the 9/32 brass glue on inserts from ACE archery tackle in a 1916 aluminum shaft? I've been looking at it seems it'll be 50/50 or a real snug fit. I know the 5/16 fits a 2016 shaft. Anyone with experience with it feel free to chime in...

I believe those brass adapters are made to fit .246" ID carbon and 1916 shaft inserts are about .265" so might be a little lose.

Just curious, that is a lot of weight up front for a 1916. What length and draw weight are you using?

Legacy shafts w/ magnus classic 85 grain heads. 160 up front (75 grain insert adaptor) on 28" bop 47# ASL. Trying to find an alternative to the standard aluminum insert, but not looking to promising.

I have tried 50 grain brass inserts 5/16th in my 2016s and they were close but not perfect.These were screw in inserts.
AS you I was kinda hoping to have an option to the aluminum inserts with a brass alteernative.
I have not looked into it much since my 1st try with the 2016s.I also shoot 1916s and 1816s.

1816's are a great shaft! Just pulled a dozen out of my storage that I have never used. Looks like early 90's camo hunters =)

They are made for carbon shafts not aluminum, so the inside diameter is what's important...not the outside. To find inside diameter of a 1916, divide 19 by 64 and subtract twice the wall thickness. You get .296 - 32, or .264 inside shaft diameter. Always good to know how to calculate things.

There are few choices for aluminum shafts and will probably be even fewer soon. Carbon is quickly replacing all other materials. I switched to Easton Carbon Legacy 700 spine to replace 1916. They are .246" ID so many types of inserts will work. I have to admit, they are a good shaft at a good price.

The death of aluminum was proclaimed about fifteen years ago, but alas, it keeps on keeping on and in plenty of sizes yet. Anyway, you are aware they use aluminum tubing inside the best carbons like the X-10 eh? It's not going anywhere for awhile.

Some sizes of aluminum may go on for a long time but nobody is going to produce a wide array of various inserts for them. And these days everyone demands at least 10 choices in weight and material and diameters and lengths and geegaws and gadgets. I don't know we ever managed to successfully bowhunt way back in the geezer days. Why everyone knows that if your FOC is off by .0098% you just can't shoot with it!

Exactly what are you trying to do? Not use threaded insert? Use a glue on type adapter? Add weight? Combination of the above?
There are multiple ways to accomplish all the above depending on your desired outcome.
As mentioned you ID on a 1916 is way different than a carbon of the same OD. Here's a portion of a chart I made that should help.
