Looks like a Lonestar, because of the machined step in the center & then the stepped up flanges at the ends.
Durabreak, will be straight from center splines out to the wheel hub ends.

It kind of looks like this axle on ebay but the sprocket splines are different

The picture is of a 10 year old durablue. This is the first axle I've found with the same splines. But the rest of the axle is different. Basically i just need the sprocket mount, is there a chance back in the 90s durablue and lonestar both used the same splines and durablue still uses them in some of their axles (even though mine is possibly a lonestar?)

I'm pretty sure my axle is very old. I wonder if this spline was common in the 90s then everyone switched?

here's another durablue with the same splines (I think).

I remember back in the day (before they put the 4th tire on trikes) that durablue had those splines on there axles and they were the only aftermarket ones you could get. I would guess it is about a 85/86 axle

Made for the 85/86 atc/trx or was made for the trx in 1986? If so holy moly its old! Wouldn't surprise me though, the quad was built for racing, and was definitely raced in the 90s. Thanks for the help. - D

I used to own a really old Durablue axle on my 250R. When I went to get a new end nut from K&K (many years ago) he handed me a different nut. I showed him mine, and he commented that I had the old style Durablue, back when they did not break so often.

Must be why that axle weighted a lot more to other I have had.
