Rubber Smith Tubes - New Website

[SBALLA]

I have an all new website.
Much easier ordering through PayPal. (Shopping Cart, Secure Checkout)

I also have the results of a Longevity Study that I did. I took 5 random tubes and shot them 15 times each. Pictures of the tubes and diameter of the flash holes are located on my website at:

I have stock right now. In stock orders can ship next day.

Can you line the flash hole with a brass gromet, like you can on the black plastic cartridges?

Steve,

I think Gary means eyelets.

Gary, Steve could probably offer tubes with eyelets, but his pricing would obviously have to increase so to compensate for the added materials and labor. Maybe if someone could test a group of tubes with eyelets and determine the best eyelet size might help Steve to decide whether adding eyelets is cost effective.

I have not done anything with eyelets yet. I just got most of the kinks worked out in the manufacturing process of the rubber tube.
I will defintely look into it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm talking about the brass rivets that Joe Plakis Jr. sells. You install them yourself. They keep the hole size more consistant and seem to extend the life of the tubes. If you are interested in them e-mail Joe dabrerrabbit@juno.com . The rivets work best in new tubes. If your flash hole is too big the rivets won't work.
