SEE PRODUCTION NOTE AFTER DESCRIPTION.
eBay has started to remove my listingS that contain any specific use of certain terms in regards to usage of these paper tubes. PM me for further info.
Up for auction is a box containing 500 handrolled paper tubes to be used for Civil War Revolutionary War  .58, .69 & .75 caliber inert replicas. Hand rolled on 11/16" (.690") dowel rod out of blank newsprint, crimped in the end NO GLUE NO STAPLES,
4"- 4 1/2"  long. We normally load 80-85 grains in our  1/2"
inert replicas and have plenty of room to fold/create the tail. I am sure you could easy load up to 120 grains and have plenty of length left. I like having a little longer tail as it makes it easier to pull the inert replica from the leather box. Many of the Rev War reenactors use this size since they tend to fit the wood blocks easier than the actual size tube.
I have been rolling these for many years, and my Civil War unit uses thousands of these every year with virtually no problems. The NEW LOWER PRICE of .99 comes out to just  3 3/4 cents a tube, about as cheap as you will find. I have sold hundreds of thousands of these tubes to reenactors all over the US as well as provided some of the tubes being used on the current film production of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". My larger tubes are used at several National Historical sites throughout the country as well. Shipped in bulk boxes
NOTE: The way eBay Checkout figures shipping on this particular size & weight of package, may in fact, overcharge some customers. I will refund such overcharges immediately when I see them.
Please look at My Other Auctions for other size 9/16/" (.580") 5/8" (.625"), 11/16" (.690") & 3/4" (.750")  tubes, and other quantities. If you order smaller tubes than you need and send me a note asking for larger tubes, shipping fees will not be the same as quoted in checkout for other size tubes.
AUCTION IS FOR EMPTY TUBES ONLY. THEY DO NOT CONTAIN POWDER. CANNOT BE MADE INTO AMMUNITION.
TO EBAY, THESE TUBES ARE ONLY FOR  INERT REPLICA USAGE AND ARE IN NO WAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN EMPTY PAPER TUBES STRICTLY FOR BLANKS!!!!
