Estoc Screwless Epee Point

I started installing this point on my son's epees about three years ago (before I became a supplier). At first I was having the same problems as Veeco, the contact spring would not stay in adjustment. But after talking with the manufacturer I learned that if I would put a very small drop of super glue where the spring screws onto the point it would cure this problem. I have installed this point on several blades and as long as you follow this procedure you will have an epee point that not only does not have micro-screws, but also a frictionless point that will not ingest dirt. The only other problem I have had is that sometimes, depending on how a fencer uses it, the point tip can be ejected from the part that screws into the base.

One of my club members, whom I armorer for, fenced at Summer Nationals with the same blade, with the Estoc point on it, from pools all the way to through DE's in three events. The weapon never failed shims the entire time.

It just goes to show you that some times it is not the equipment that is faulty, it is the way you install it and use it!
