Looking for someone who can make me a powder drop tube for my Hornady funnel set. Would like it to be made from aluminum tubing, the lighter the better. Would need a male thread on one end and female thread on other. 3/4” 24tpi I believe but will verify if any takers.

Not asking for free work, will pay.
 
Contact DLASK or TNA too, they are both machine shops primarily, I am sure they can help you out if its feasible.
DLASK may be busy however. Local machine shops could also do something up if you have a sketch/dimensions for them
 
Brass tubing is easier to source. K&S Tubing, available at a LOT of hobby places that cater to model railroad as well as Radio Control models. https://ksmetals.com/collections/tu...ength_tube_rod_wire_=36"&sort_by=best-selling

Thing about K&S is the brass tubing is available in nesting sizes, meaning that the next size up is a very smooth sliding fit over the last size. And you can solder brass, which is problematic with aluminum...

The benefit is that if you wanted a longer than 36 inch drop tube, you can do that using the K&S tubes! They offer lengths up to 72 inches, but the Hobby Shops generally have 12 and 36 inch stuff.

Consider if you can make the threaded portions wanted, out of nuts or bolts, with maybe some drill press work. Lots more guys have a drill press available.

It could be that you can make or adapt all the pieces that you want!
