Lord Achillies:
If you want heavy cardboard tubes for making bolts, etc., check with any
fabric store, especially the places that sell lots of remnants. At
least in the Bryn Gwlad - Bjornsborg area, places like Fabric Warehouse
usually have boxes full of the things, and they're usually willing to
let people take whatever they want.
Of course, there is still the question of whether they're legal for
weapons. And the question of whether you can get any range out of them
- those tubes are a LOT heavier than golf tubes. But they are pretty
sturdy. I use one as a scabbard and it's held up to several years of
abuse.
