Howdy,
I have an original 73 in 32-20 that I fitted with the 45 cal Mag tube from Uberti.  I turned a collar to fit over the
original 32-20 follower out of hard plastic (Delrin).  It works fine.
Regards
Colt

Buckinghams.  731 599 4169 - 501 Eaton Brazil Road, Trenton, Tennessee 38382.  You should replace that magazine tube as well.
