Thanks Mike I have the kinks , That will not work for this fix , I a going to make a new tube that is .562 OD with .375 ID and thread it 9/16x 18" and re-tap the action and the nut that holds the stock . Bore the stock to fit the new tube . I found a company that has the seamless tubing , Aladdin in Ill. No reply from them yet ?

Mr. J Wisner , Thanks for the offer for a Tube , I am cutting new threads and newed a raw unaltered tube the metric size is to weak for the id of .375 id tube 12x1 is just not the correct size for the action , I am tapping a larger size in action and stock nut , The rifle is mine so I don't care about time or cost . I tried to answer privately but mailer demon sent it back . Concho

Yes they do and the red sign says sold out . I don't want another Norinco junk tube , They are not strong enough for the job . I will make a larger walled tube

The one broken factory tube I had, which caused me to make some replacements.
The threads had been cut with a die chaser head, BUT something was not true, the threads were offset about .012". Thus making one side very thin and the other side thick.
I have seen beavers cut better than the factory tube threads, which is why a CNC lathe is the best way to cut that type of threads.

The Browning is a 1/2x40 pitch thread , I have that tube and ordered a tap to change the action to match .will have to run a .375 reamer threw the browning tube as it is .366 exactly what the feed tube is will not slide inside the browning tube .
