Hypodermic needle steel tubing source?

MillenniumFalsehood · Wed Jan 27, 2016 10:01 am

I seem to recall someone posting on here a link to where I can buy stainless steel tubing meant for hypodermic needles. Google seems to think that I want actual hypodermic needles, so that isn't working. Does anyone know where to get this stuff?

I just get mine from various vendors on ebay.

I hope this helps.

I considered once having 300 feet of custom tubing made up. Cheap by the foot but x300 it was out of price range. Now-a-days I use Albion Alloy tubes for most things.

Can I ask what you planned to use 300ft of tubing for?

I didn't. What I wanted was 1/72 .50 machinegun barrels with correct wall thickness. To have them custom drawn I'd need to order 300 feet of it. It was something like 3.50 a foot but times 300...
