Hrew is just fine, but I'm guessing since its from Midwest, its 1; the wrong size or 2; it was pipe. Last time I went through them they gave me 1 5/8, when I asked for 1 1/2. Ozzy you maybe able to take it back if they gave you the wrong stuff. I took back what they wronged me on.

my guess would be that midwest and c henry are pretty much the same place. its probably covered in rust and that wont go on the machine.

I used Midwest as a supplier for about 6 months, a year or so ago. They always told me that they did not stock round tube, only pipe. They do stock a less expensive version of pipe that is essentually round tube made to pipe size. 1 1/4" sch40 pipe measures roughly 1 5/8"od, I'm sure that is what they sold Blue.
