Had some 1/2 SharkBite tube in the shop which measures .625 on O.D. and went to work. Cut length to 16 5/8 inch for 10 rounds
Machined one end back about 1/2 inch to a .560 diameter so it would slip into mag tube. Used a plastic 1/2 inch plug to plug one end and pinned it in place.
Then drill hole near feed end of tube for 1/2 inch Hitch Pin Clip. Add a small chain or whatever handy and secure to tube in a slightly machined groove, a small cable tie that secures chain. Cable tie won't slide up and down being secured in groove.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Looks great Forty! Might follow your instructions as best I can and attempt to make one.
What method did you use to machine the 1/2 inch area and the groove?

I'm out of the 40 180 gr. rounds I loaded up....had too much fun with them! But have some 158's and others to try.
Need to get more .357 Mag brass since I never had more than 100 rounds of those.
