Who can make a 22lr mag tube follower?

[Catt57]

I need one just like this.
It's for a Noble 33A.
The difficult part is that I don't have one to reference for measurements. And these are the only up close pictures I have found of one. I'm pretty sure the end in the tube is just a ball.

How these work:
The empty case is forced off the top of the bolt by the next cartridge feeding up into the bolt. The very last empty case is ejected by the follower being pushed up by the lifter.

That would be a lathe job, not a mill.

I meant to put "make" but well, autocorrect....

There, I fixed the title.

I knew you knew the difference, but want to be the first to "gig" you.

I believe this could be 3D printed pretty easily

Grab some bar stock chuck it up in a drill and take some files to it. You could get that done in a couple hours

The follower is also the ejector for the last round. Not sure 3D print would hold up over time. The lifter would probably wear it out fairly fast.
Probably needs to be steel or brass.

I tried that. My skills were not up to the challenge... (It looked like something Bubba made and worked just as poorly.)

My real skill set is wood working, not so much in metal work.

You don't want to buy the one off ebay?

Not aluminum? The pic appears to be that metal. Is it magnetic?
Aren't most .22 tubes the same diameter? If so the follower should be slightly smaller than the tube.
What is the total length of the follower?
