American Patriot Tubes

[edicehouse]

I need a set of American Patriot Tubes. Long story short, somehow they ended up on the ground and got smashed. Any one have a set that can help me out? Thanks in advance.

Ed; The American Patriot pen tubes are standard 3/8" tubes, so any 3/8" tubes could be cut down to make a new set of tubes. I don't have any original tubes, and the instructions do not have the tube lengths. :frown:

i had a similar experience with a vertex tube. Here is what I did. I ordered the 10" x 3/8" tubes from wood-n-whimsies (cheapest place i have found so far for some supplies) then bought this cut off saw from HF took a measurement from the old one and cut to length. I wouldn't suggest that saw for anything heavier than this, but it makes a nice square cut for tubes. This way you always have spare tubes for when one gets crushed or tore up or something.
