Exclamation Carbon Fibre tubes: Interested?

I've been exploring options for upgrading my C14 to Carbon Fibre and have been in contact with a bloke in the U.S. who manufactures them. He is looking for a cheap way to ship to Au reducing the shipping cost substantially. He's interested in sending several tubes at once. Is anyone interested in adding an order to this shipmen? If so, let me know and I'll pass on the details when i have them.

The supplier is "Public Missles" in the U.S. I inquired about a C14 tube and the price is ok but the shipping is a killer. Frank supplies tubes for rocketry in Au and sends them in a container. He's exploring options for including scope tubes in the shipment at substantially reduced shipping costs. Said I'd put it out there and see who bites...

If interested, what size? pm

The bloke who was selling said he was trying to organise space in a container coming to Oz and thats the last I heard. Shipment of the C14 tube in a standard order was around the cost of the tube itself... prohibitive. If I hear back from him, I'll post here.
