You can put a WTB on the EE, try Western Gun Parts in Edmonton or watch ebay . Failing that, can you not run some kind of rod through the tube to straighten it enough to hold more shells. Or cut the crushed portion out and tig or braze in a new piece,. Might not look super but at least it would be functional.

Kind of curious...

You can get it to feed n' fire those 5 rounds? If the shells can pass through, it can't be crushed that badly. x2 on pushing a rod of similar diameter through it. Even a hardwood dowel would open it up.

If your inner is bent/crushed it's trickier to fix, but still not impossible to replace. Some dis assembly required. You may find a cheap inner tube, that could be adapted to fit. I have had bent tubes that cause migraines, but eventually got 'em straightened enough to enjoy.

Musical instrument repairs shops have tools that are used for taking dents out of brass instruments, trumpets, french horns, etc.
It's a very common repair on high school band instruments.

By the way, if looking for an inner or outer tube, the tubes are the same for the 351, 151 and 51Ma coneback models.

Your internet searches for parts will be a lot more accurate if you spell the rifle manufacturer correctly.

how did the tube get bent when it is incased in the stock? and a piece of brass rod can be introduced to straighten it out.

I scratched my head a bit about this too...gotta be the inner magazine tube. Esp if it'll still work with 5 rds. I've not encountered a crushed one, but have seen quite a few bent, and actually bent one myself with no help at all (not bragging).

There's an inner tube on ebay right now. But no response from the op since he posted so maybe he hasn't bothered even checking back to see what people had to say.

if it is the inner tube, a new one can be made. i know a gunsmith in Winnipeg that has made one for me for a Marlin 81.

Too bad you dont live in Alberta. Tube is easy to find out here. Try some oilfield supply outfits.

i will see if i can find it

I have the brass tubing.
If you can give me the dimensions of the current tube, I might already have one.
