Guys, I don't suppose you have any original 3" mortar carry tube sets available, I have about 12 but need about 10 more for the carrier.

Cardboard Mortar Tubes
Hi Kevin,
I have four and need another four for my carrier. They do turn up infrequently, I did find one set in Melbourne last week but the guy did not want to post, I tried begging so he then quoted AUD250 to post across country.

When I still had my T-16 setup as a 4.2-inch mortar carrier, I had to build my own cardboard bomb carriers. Had a bunch of 3-inch pattern but never seen one of the larger pattern 4.2-inch available for sale. There are places you can order rolled cardboard tube custom sized including the wall thickness. Varnish the outside like the early war pattern and they will be water/humidity resistant while on your carrier. Probably work out a lot cheaper as well now that originals have gone up in price so much. Used to be we couldn't sell them for $50 a set but those days are long gone I'm afraid.
