If you dont mind me asking are you talking about a takedown sleeve? I made some, not 100% sure on sizes, my buddy owns a metal shop I just whent in and found the tubing that fit together well then I cut it to size and put it in a press and made it slightly oval so it couldnt spin. Sorry not much help  ???

Ya what I used worked alright but what I would really like to do is buy a real one from 3 rivers or something or borrow one from someone and then have my buddy at the metal/whelding shop make me a bunch :D
