    Has anyone made a hollow front, no-ferrule shaft?

    I read it and i understand what they did with the language.they went out of there way to avoid the word tube.they claimed a structural event without using the word tube to get it through the patent office.you can not patent something that nature provides.tubes are seen in many forms in nature. bill
