About This Replacement Part
If you've put serious hours on your Manticore, eventually the middle shaft assembly will need replacement. This carbon fiber unit restores your detector's original performance without the weight penalty of aluminum alternatives. The carbon fiber construction is particularly beneficial if you're doing long beach hunts or covering large areas where every ounce matters.
Installation is straightforward - this assembly connects directly to your existing upper and lower shaft sections. You'll maintain the same comfortable grip position and control layout you're used to. Many detectorists keep a spare shaft assembly on hand, especially when traveling to detecting events or remote locations.
Compatibility
This middle shaft assembly is specifically designed for the Minelab Manticore metal detector. It won't fit other Minelab models like the Equinox or CTX series.
