I haven't been able to find a 2.875" OD body tube, but I'm looking for one for a scale MPR/HPR project I'm thinking of doing.

Does anybody know of a supplier of such a body tube?

Thanks!
Jim
 
If you can't find one... you may be able to roll your own tube if you can find a mandrel.
 
However a loc stiffy is split down one side iirc and slightly less than 6 inches long in the 3" stiffy.

The LOC stiffy isn't split, but it does have a significant spiral. The 3" version is 5.75" long.

Contact Barry, he'd probably get you whatever length you needed.

Thats good to know, the only pictures I have seen of them they appeared to be split down the side, I haven't used them, instead I put a couple of layers of 6oz FG cloth around the ID of the 3" Coupler. Definitely contact Barry he's been more than helpful in the past.
