Carbon Fiber Mag Tube

[Tyrel Cody]

Now that they are legal, anyone know where to get one or have one made?

 

I've asked a couple of sources and was told the CF was too expensive to mess with.

Wonder how the magazine cap is secured. 
 

I do know that if you get any of the individual fibers in your skin you’ll never do it again.

Really expensive solution in search of a problem.

 

PLUS ONE for Sedalia Dave too.

I don't disagree.

 

Still want one.

I'm in no hurry with this one.  From the other post on cf tubes, I share Flying Shootist's concern in the event of a chain fire in the tube magazine.  Having experienced cf becoming razor blades in auto accidents, I think he has raised a valid concern that needs to be tested.  Check out video.  Those shards will cut tires.

I'd suspect whoever petitioned the WB to make them legal has a source or manufactures them.

I’d still like to know where to get the knurled mag tube screw.

The individual who requested the ROC ruling made it himself to replace a damaged part.
It is NOT a production item.

Who gave permission to use a carbon fiber tube?

The ROC approved it

Tyrel, I well understand your desire.  Quite understandable.  However, there are two other, much cheaper solutions.  1).  A new OEM part.  2).  A shiny new BRASS item from Slix.  However, without the use of an Anti-Seize lubricant, NONE of the replacements will be satisfactory.

 

Conversely, a replacement CF magazine tube would require no Anti-Seize application.  I can also see where a Carbon Fiber tube of correct internal dimension for .38 or 32-20 could be VERY desirable.  Expensive, but desirable.  I shoot Henrys, so don't really have do Dog in the fight.

All of my 73's and 66's will have knurled endcaps, before I'm done. Fine if I need anti seize and fine with the cost; its just what I like.

 

I'd probably just put the CF tube on one rifle, mainly just to say I have one
