    Brass and Smith Carbine

    Shooting a original 50.Smith Carbine got a good deal on some brass tubes problem tubes are to long gun will not close and lock can the tubes be filed/sanded a little to fit and if the gun flash hole and the tube holes need to be flush together when closed

    Yes & Yes. The less space you have between the tube and flash hole the better. I used 220g emery paper and a 6X6 tile for a flat surface, go slow till you get one that fits. after that you can measure the rest.

    I can face them to make they are all the same and square for a good fit if you like. One of the services I provide.
