here in west oz cant get blow tubes for black powder cartridge cuns,so i made my own 45/70 case drill out the flash hole to 23/64 one pice of 23/64 aluminium arrow shaft cut to 2-3/4".wrap the cut arrow shaft from one end of the shaft for 1-3/4" to make it a snug fit inside the 45/70 case push into the case so the untaped part sticks out through the rim of the case and push clear tube on to the rest of the shaft one blow tub as can be seen in the pic's.

Thanks for asking, I was confused also. I thought it was for an emergency if you ran out of powder and you had to use your rifle as a blowgun. :-D
