Anyone know where to get those in the USA?  I need 100 pieces of 1/2" ID by 6" ID length

Found this site after a short search on-line http://www.rose-plastic.us/index.2078.0.html

Adjustable-Length Plastic Tubes








Round Tube





Square Tube




Set the length of these tubes to fit their contents. Durable and reusable, these tubes resist oil and moisture. Made of clear, rigid PVC, except sizes larger than 2" are white polyethylene. Wall thickness is 0.04".

Round tubes can be adjusted by twisting the two halves. A hexagon end prevents rolling.

Square tubes are easier to label and stack. To adjust the length, push the ends of the tube together or pull them apart.

Go figure.  I couldn't find anything in the US for them, which is why I posted.  However, based on their website and quantities, I don't need to order thousands.  Just a couple hundred.

Figures McMaster would have them.  They seem to have everything.  I looked on Grainger, but their site sucks.

Their Prices suck even worse even with the "Discount" MSC might have them as well..  OR Enco.

Well yeah, but I was then looking at the DIY cut-to-length tubing with end caps.  For a little labor I can save 15% or more on my tube insurance.

You can get the Tubing and Caps from U-Line pretty cheap.

Try your local archery ranges/ pro shops. Depending upon where they order from I've seen them packaged in plastic tubes about 1/2" X 6-7" in length.

Thanks guys.
