500 Civil War 1/2" .490" Sutler Pak Paper Tubes for Reenactment Blanks

Description

This is a box made up for Sutler resale This
is box contains 5 bags of 100 each hand rolled paper tubes to be used for Civil War .58 & .69 caliber inert blanks. Hand rolled on 1/2" (.490") dowel rod out of blank newsprint, crimped in the end NO GLUE NO STAPLES. Trimmed to 3 1/2" -4" long. Included in each pak will be 2 tubes for use as display items. We normally load 80-85 grains in our inert blanks and have plenty of room to fold/create the tail.
I have been rolling these for 20 years, and my Civil War unit uses thousands of these every year with virtually no problems. The price to the sutler of /100 comes out to just  4 cents a tube, about as cheap as you will find. Sutler at events often retail these for /100, I have done the work of pre-packaging these for immediate retail. 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.
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!!!!
