Body tube to fit Estes Pro Series II 4" Nose cone

Does anyone know where to source a body tube that will fit this nose cone?

Estes sells a tube here, but I want to get one without slots:

Binder Design's 4" tubes are a good match (34" Max length). I just double checked with my own personal samples. It's a little tight but I was able to blow it free with a good "puff". If you were to seal the tube, then sand the inside, it could be a little easier to pop the nosecone.

BD also sells couplers that would allow you to extend the body tube beyond 34", if needed.

Try The Rocket Garden, great prices!

I have used 4" Aerotech tubing. Purchased from eRockets.

Standard 4" tubing should be compatible. There was a discussion of this in an older thread.

From that thread, it looks like the tubing is indeed a standard size.

Thanks to everyone for the guidance!

NICE! The new owners brought the MDRM NC back. Although a few $ higher than before. Perhaps the whole MDRM is close behind.

I’ve had my eye on building a mid power DRM for a while. This nose cone is just what I’ve been waiting for. Buying a NOS MDRM kit just to get the nose cone wasn’t an option due to the insane prices of the kits on the used market.

We can hope but unless you can fly the MDRM on the current 29mm BP motors probably not. Maybe a new version - a MDRM-lite perhaps - but that won’t satisfy most folks who seem to want it brought back. A lighter built version wouldn’t be as amenable to use with higher power motors like the original.

Now, if there’s a new MDRM along with some more powerful motors...that would ROCK! Even though I’m not into HPR and would be just fine with a MDRM-lite a bring back of the original along with more powerful motors from Estes could be intriguing!

This might work.

I just confirmed a MDRM nose cone will fit LOC airframe tubing.
