Seeing how you are considering making your own arrows (Arizona EZ fletch thread), it sounds like you would benefit from just buying blank carbon shafts opposed to removing the factory insert from pre made arrows.
I would recommend using carbon shafts (I like the GT's) aluminum nocks and brass inserts. With the 2" Blazer vanes I find that to be the most consistent arrow I have been able to come up with, so do many others.
A few other tools help, like the G5 arrow squaring device, for around $50 you be insured your nocks and inserts seat perfectly flush to the carbon.
Brass inserts can be purchased anywhere the carbon arrows are sold, when GT send the dealers the shafts they come with brass and aluminum inserts.
Making arrows is fun and a great way to spend an hour or two, not to mention very rewarding.
If you are not willing to learn, nobody can help you, if you are willing, nobody can stop you.

I second the raw shaft GT II's, aluminum nock, brass inserts and 2" Blazer vanes and 4" arrow wraps. Tipped one of these with a 100 grain broadhead (WASP Boss, Muzzy, Montec, Slick Trick are all very popular) and you have a deadly combo. With this setup mine average out somewhere @ 410 grains.
I'll second the notion of using GT Laxer II, 100 gr brass inserts (they also make 90's) 2" Blazers and a small 4 bladed broadhead for a fast bow (I like Slick Tricks mags) to prevent planing. Only I don't use wraps. Found it to be much easier, as well as cheaper, to spray the back 7" with white lacquer. Dries in no time, vanes stick well to it and it greatly enhances the visibility of your arrow in flight....without adding weight to the back of the arrow as wraps do. Lacquer comes right off with acetone. As a side benefit it makes removal of old glue much easier if the meed to re-fletch occurs.

Well Dick.....your handle is out of sync. Shouldn't it be 195255? Your making 55 sound like.............old. My handle, using your code, would be 1955553 (better poker hand that yours). So in a couple years am I going to be in my time of confusion? Hotties on the beech..........last weekend was swimsuit weather here (23C) in AB but the lakes are still frozen over............and yesterday/today it has been a steady -10C temperature wise and it hasn't stopped snowing in two days!

Yet another vote for the above. Here's a link to cresting I bookmarked off of someones kindness to post it here a few years ago:
