    The outer one connected to the machine? Or the primer pickup tubes? I think you mean the outer one, but best to clarify.

    Not the pick-up tube, the feed tube that delivers the primers to the primer bar.

    That’s the primer magazine inner tube or primer magazine primer feed tube or something like those. You want the length of just the aluminum tube excluding the plastic tip? I’ll see if I have one handy.

    The aluminum sections are:

    SML: 14-13/32"
    LRG: 14-12/32"

    Not sure why the difference of 1/32" in length, maybe just tolerances.
