416ss Tubing?

[RJSmith]

Does anyone out there sell 416 stainless thong hole tubing? I have looked around and all I can find is 304 stainless. Tried the 304 and it has a different look than my 416 bolsters and rivets.

I have been looking at many suppliers websites, nobody lists 416 SS tubing. I have been using the 304(?) tubing for many years, I have never noticed a glaring difference in color. You would certainly notice a difference if you put 416 pins in 303-304 bolsters, and visa versa, but there is so little showing on the thong hole liner that I doubt anyone would notice.
I have doubts that it is made, but could be wrong. Maybe someone else has better info.
