    I was looking at price. Normal gas tube runs about $10. The Iconel ones run about $70.

    And how often do gas tubes wear out?

    I noticed that 375 SOCOM is not on your list. GTG, right?

    I can’t recall ever seeing or hearing of one wearing out until that youtube guy tried to melt a gun.

    This is up there -

    But if it shot tennis balls like the old ones we made using tennis ball cans and firecrackers, I can’t say I wouldn’t be tempted.
