Here's one site:

Here's another:

I'm sure there are many more if you expand your search.
The Lancaster site has a downloadable catalog as well.

Who has already installed brass inserts into 2216's ? Did they fit without sanding them down ?

lancaster archery supply has quite a few . I have the 110gr for gt lazer11 and they fit 2114,2117 but are a little loose in the 2116 . I looked in there book and they have them for the power bolt 57gr. and gt 1v in 60gr and the gt111 in 110gr but I don,t know the size of these but will try them in 2216s next time I go there.

Edit: to add site.
This retailer actually states the arrow that goes with the insert.

Hope you find what you need.

I install them in Easton 2216 with hot melt glue. Works well.

The Bow Shop in Waterloo Ontario stock them also.

I think the brass insterts come in two different weights. 85 and 100 or something like that.

Try calling Carl at Carl's Archery in Windsor. He may not have what you need in stock but he can probably order in what you need. I've had good luck there.

I just pulled the insert out of one of my 2216 XX75 arrows. I put a GT II brass 110 gr insert into the arrow. Its almost .009 play between shaft & the insert & thats way too much run-out to suit me fer my shooting
