Regardless of size or application, cost is usually a major consideration. I have a reasonable discount structure with two major BS1387 tube suppliers. A petrol head friend of mine has been buying 1.75" OD 12swg club 500 tube (CDS/CFS) cheaper than I can buy 1.25" NB Hvy. Wt.(approx 1.69" OD) BS1387. Granted the 1.25" has a 4mm wall thickness against 2.6mm of the club 500, but a few years ago any type of CDS was far more expensive than 'a bit of old gas barrel'. W/A
