Can anyone identify the maker/seller of these 1010 rail buttons?

[Bill S]

I have bought some 1010 buttons and flanges from at least 2 vendors. One thing I have noticed is that one variety of flange/button is very tight fitting, with no turning on the flange shaft. The other brand is just fine. The ones that are good shaft measure about .172-3, whereas the other brand are .180-.186. I can't recall who I got them from, but would prefer to buy more of the "good" ones than the super tight ones. The screws on the good ones are kind of brownish-tan coated, whereas the tight ones are bright metal.

The good ones are on the left in the picture, the ones on the right are the too tight ones.

Picture to show what I am talking about:

They do, but I haven't bought from Apogee in a long time. I bought from CS Rocketry, and I think Rocketarium, but neither of their photos match.

I believe it's Rocketarium...



Side note is that I think I've had (or have) those since that package and label looks familiar.

Yes and I think they might be from Rattworks.

Any time I have had the button a little tight I just open the hole with a drill bit by hand.
You only need to take 8-10 thousands inch out so easy to do.
