I was first going to staples but they didn't open till 10 (I was there at 9) maybe hobby lobby?

Target also sells tubes.

But why buy new tubes?  Any local bike shop should have plenty of tossed tubes they will give you.

  I may just do the Stocks on my NEF 45-70 , the Bluing looks too good , its a brand new rifle , I've had it for over fifteen years in the box, the Black syn. stocks , I really don't care , the paint will be easy to remove from them, if I don't like it .( or I screw it up , lol )

 I think I will start with Gray , as a base coat . What you guys think ?

black stock? Why not start with the black? I was thinking about banding mine before I painted it but then I remembered the bluing is garbage and that was 1/2 the reason for painting it. But yea if your going for darker I would go dark light then back to your dark.

 I was thinking because I would be in a tree stand 50 % of the time , I would want some light parts of it , like gray, but keeping the Black on the stock for a base would probably work . I will do half my test  stock in Gray Base & the other leave it Black & see how it comes out .
