When we bought Jim Rossen's stuff, we got a bunch of casting tubes for 38, 54 and 75mm motors. There were a few liners, but mostly for 54mm. We would like to buy good quality liners. Anybody got a source?
Where to buy Liners for 54 & 75mm EX.

John Lyngdal used to be a good source for the Kosdon/AMW/Loki sized case and casting liners. I thought Loki sold them also.

Check out Always Ready Rocketry, they sell liners and casting tube sets.

I get mine from Loki. The website is down for orders while they move but they do stock them in 38mm to 98mm.

Thanks, but they have been out of stock since I started looking at ARR, at least the 76mm are. And they sell sets - I need liners since I have many, many casting tubes.

I don't know John Lyngdal - anybody have contact info?
Loki liners are great....but he sells sets.....and his store is down.
Hes the Vice President of NAR, chair of NAR S&T, a really good guy, and goes by Johnly on TRF. You should be able to send him a PM using his TRF name.

John Lyngdal doesn't sell liner/casting tubes sets anymore.
If you only need liners, it will be difficult to match casting tubes to someone else's liners. They are typically made as a set with close tolerances.
RCS/AT has liners for 75mm, but they are expensive and may not match the casting tubes you have. The ID of the RCS liners may not fit well on the liner overlap for AMW/Loki/etc closures. Dimensions are given on their website.

Valid points, however we have already matched our casting tubes to the ARR and Loki liners and flown with success. Thanks for the update about John Lyngdal.
It is good to know that John Lyngdal no longer provides these.
You might want to see what Paramount Tube would charge for a batch. Youd have to measure the OD of your casting tube and the ID of your cases and provide a set of tolerances. Ive never ordered anything from them, but I recall their name from similar past discussions.

Loki has sold liners separate from casting tubes before. Give them a call, might be able to do something even with the web-store down.

I just had some 38mm casting tube and liner sets quoted from Yazoo Mills. Even sent them a case to check the fit of the liner . Really good prices and really nice people to deal with.

I believe all the tubes Rosson used were AMW/Kosdon East size.
Yes, the liners fit the Loki cases too. All the cases we got from Jim are gold Kosden cases.

Kosdon 38 and Loki 38 are not the same size.

Noted - however we are only interested in 54 and 75 mm since we do not make 38mm
