We are now producing the highest quality bronze tubes on the market today, and the largest variety of styles. These tubes are constructed from Government spec. Naval gun bronze. Our tubes are cast from solid ingots of #225 bronze, yielding a casting of uniform quality. Naval gun bronze is a mixture of 88 parts copper, 8 parts tin and 4 parts zinc. Bronze tubes are not cheap; in fact, casting costs alone are 3 times as much as iron. On the other hand, overall appearance and safety may be consideration in making your decision on a particular tube. Our bronze tubes are twice as strong as iron tubes.

Cast gray iron tubes have a pressure rating of about 40,000 pounds per square inch; mild steel tubes have a rating of about 60,000 pounds per square inch and Naval bronze tubes have a rating of 65,000 pounds per square inch. So, as you can see, bronze tubes are the strongest, not to mention the most attractive.

All our bronze tubes are poured solid, then bored out, then lathe-polished. They have perfectly centered bores (great for competition shooting) and, with little care, will last for many, many years. We know you will be more than satisfied with our new line of bronze tubes; each will have the year stamped on the right trunnion and the number of the piece on the left trunnion. When you want the very best available today, get bronze.

We also accept orders for custom styles of tubes; if we don't have it, we'll make it. P.O.R.
