Default Thinnest Wall Craft type Body tubes.

Who makes the thinnest wall craft 3" and 4" body tubes not counting BT101.

Exactly 4"? Estes/SEMROC/Totally Tubular BT-101 is 3.938" with a wall thickness of 0.021".

Not sure who might have a thin walled 3" tube.

Thank you both! That was my guess on three inch. I meant 4" tubes in the HP range above the BT 101. My guess without knowing is, Aerotech is thinner and lighter than Loc?

The different "brands" of 4" HPR paper tubing most likely are all manufactured by Euclid on the same mandrels and have the same dimensions. I know it never made any appreciable difference in nose cone fit back when I was doing HPR whether I got paper tubing from LOC, PML, NCR, etc.
