Oodles of years ago the American Rifleman featured an article on building a matchlock musket. For a barrel the author used Shelby tubing of approximately .50 caliber.
Does anyone know of an online source for ordering such tubing?
Thanks!

Don't know about Shelby tubing but Aircraft Spruce has 4130 seamless in varying sizes and you can order through the internet.

Source for Shelby
I always purchased shelby tubing from Pacific Machinery and Tool Steel in Portland, Oregon. They have a website, but you will need to call them to place an order.

Another good source is Industrial Tube and Steel. DOM in many Diameters and ID's.

Re: Seamless Heavy Wall Tubing
I believe the name Shelby for tubing is from the name of a manufacturing company in Shelby Ohio. You can substitute any DOM or seamless tubing.
