    I would always work on the assumption you’ll need to machine finish it. Stock materials are never truly round.
    How long does the finished tube need to be?

    Less than 4" but I won't know until I get to strip the action to get measuring

    These are the tube specs for the tube that Bigtoe sent me to sleeve my 35 down --- no refinishing needed on ID or OD. :-

    Just make it a 24mm conversion instead - that's exactly what I did with my HW80
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Tempted to but that'll be a lot of wet and dry to remove that 1mm (no lathe)
