How did you put in the extrusion (bump) in the CF tube near where it goes into the frame. This is in stock steel tubes so rounds can be easily loaded into the tube through the loading gate. If it's not in your CF tube, have you tried loading big meplat boolits that are at 2.55" OAL?

 

You are right BABore. For the prototypes I'm actually cutting an oval hole in the tube, molding a bulge off the metal tube from Kevlar, the laminating it onto the tube.

If I make a few of these I have a better way to to do it, but yes, the infamous bump will be there.

 

If you sell it I will buy it. I want one now.

 

i would be interstd also how many more rounds do you get 1 or 2

 

Yup. If you can ship to Canada I'm interested.

 

I want 1 for the 308mx just as soon as you have it ready!

 

I'll take one for my .450M Guide Gun...

I'm in.

I'm in.

PK

Me to ;D

 

I would take 2 of them off your hands one for my 308mx and one for my 444s.Let us know when you get ready to sell some!!!

 

I'd buy one for my 450M Guide Gun. I have been away for awhile. Sorry about jumping on the bandwagon so late.

 

Is that full length on guide guns? Would longer be available? I am interested if longer than guide gun is possible.

Very cool, I would be interested also.

 

Hey Guys.

Don't know if you saw this over in the 45-70 forum...

Would you all be interested in a carbon fiber full length mag tube kit that installs without gunsmithing?
I put one on my Guide Gun and am thinking about making a few kits. See the pictures (kind of like old times... )

Aside from looking great, the carbon fiber (and kevlar inside) tube has an advantage over steel. It won't dent like steel which can prevent the tube from feeding. It's lighter (we certainly don't need to add weight to the lever guns).

The kit would include the tube, new follower, new end cap, mounting bracket, tenon and the fasteners. It would use the existing spring. All you would need to install it is a screwdriver and can be installed in just a few minutes. Estimated price on the kit would be under $100.00. Aside from the GG, I could do it for the 444, 1895, 308MX, 338MX.

Would this be of any interest to you all?

Regardless I hope things are good with everyone.

Best,

Hey ORhunter,

When will the be available?

Ron

 

ABSOLUTELY.. A full length tube for my 22 inch barrel 444 would be great.. Was that one something you made for yourself, and do you plan on marketing it? If it is something you made, it's your idea so market it and see if you can sell them for like you said, all the 336 based Marlin Lever Rifles like the 444 and 1895, but also look at offering them for the 1894's as well.. If you put something like that out on the market that would be durable enough to hold up in extreme temperatures, get knocked or dropped against rocks and not break, I am sure you might find yourself STarting a company and going into a new business and livelihood.

 

I like the fact that they won't dent like a metal tube. Not that I make it a habit of treating my firearms roughly, but knocks and dings do happen.
