As I said (or implied) earlier in this thread, I do not understand the hype over 10ER tubes. Yes, I know that they are thicker thus more stout and may be less susceptible to vibration but those characteristics would be an improvement for my Mark V Model 520 as well.
I also do not understand why, if the tubes are so much more precious, why does the market price reflect that.
I might not cut them but I would not hesitate for a moment to use them on my Mark V.

Re: OH NO YOU DIDN'T SHORTEN A 520
The reason for the gasping sounds re cutting them is as Skou has often said, "They ain't making them any more". And they are somewhat scarce.dusty wrote:As I said (or implied) earlier in this thread, I do not understand the hype over 10ER tubes.

Also thicker means more difficult to cut.
Now about them fence posts from Lowe's.
