I bought this thinking it was a 200x Durablue axle. It's a +6. It has a slight taper to it and I don't remember the Durablue's like that. Finishline maybe? I don't think I've ever seen one of the NASA ones to compare.

The finishline and NASA had more taper at the hub . Also a finishline used a factory hub nut with a fine thread were durablue used a very large nut and a real coarse thread .
That looks more like a durablue to me .
If you can find the original color that might help as well
Finishline white zink
NASA was gold zink
Early durablue were blue / black in color but later were also white zink .
Maxtrax looked similar to a durablue and is also a possibility .

One more thing I noticed is finishline and nasa uses the factory rubber mounted sprocket hub and clip .
That might also be a 1982 250r durable axle with that style sprocket hub .

Good deal. Thank you sir. The only original color left on it is between the bearings, which is blackish/blue. The nuts are also as you stated, big with coarse threads. I'll assume then that it is a Durablue. Thanks again

Yours is a early 82 250r Durablue I have the same plus 6 axle. I bought the axle in pic off Ebay last week its a Rocky brand it looks like my Nasa axle its a stock length.
Im goingto use it in my 84 200x it was cheaper than a used 200x axle 271439
