Dose anyone know the maximum outside diameter of the outer tube on most tubular magazine for 22lr? My Rossi is .44. I have a demo project I am working on.

It can vary on the OD according to how heavy it was polished at the factory. 0.001" taken away equals 0.002" on the diameter. The way they like using belt abrasives these days, its a wonder there's any tube left. I would say the stock drawn over mandrel tubing is probably around .445" or so.
