Perfect timing Tim!!! The wife was wondering what to get me for Christmas.

And I just happen to need a 3 grain Pro38 case to fill in a gap in my set.

Order placed.

Tim- looks like I got one of these short MMTs. Is there a process to folllow or something we need to do? Or do you know which customers ended up with the wrong tubes?

Also, while I received all the extras I added to my order, I didn't get the free 3-grain case with the Dark Star. Is that shipping separately?
