[TowerTalk] Mounting 1.25 stinger in 3" tubing?

[Grant Saviers]

The od spec for bar is usually not slip fit accurate or is extruded bar 
that round, so it will likely need turned to fit.  The standard mill 
spec for that size is +/- 0.024".    Might be lucky tho with the 
combined tube and bar mill tolerances.

All of the 3" od x .125" wall tube couplers I have have turned od.
