Does anyone have a source for a magazine tube for a 32WCF 23 5/8″ ?

The original was brazed a couple of times already.

The tube diameter is the same from many models and calibers. You can find them on Ebay or parts suppliers.

  Any seamless tube can be made to look like a seamed tube by simply using a straight edge and a scribe. The seam is up against the barrel or in the forearm and not visible without disassembly. T/R
