try a hobby shop i found some aluminium tube that is 3foot and is definitely close enough to 6mm ID and this is only in a small town. im not sure exactly what it was but it works for me, it will be no good for threading though as its fairly thin. If your in Australia i gotta ask how you got BB's mine just got confiscated by customs i ordered them from deal extreme

They got confiscated!,Damn that sucks ass

This gun will be running steel 6mm bbs anyways not plastic Airsoft bbs.
Al the tubing I looked at on the weekend at hobby shops was too thin,ID too large and lengths too short!.This really is a problem for aussies trying to source 6MM ID barrels,the seacrch continues............

just remembered MrCrowley found some weed sprayers that had a 6mm id piping might wanna go to bunning with one and test them.
also if you know any one that works in a factory ask them if they can ask the maintenance department to order you some?

I still think the CF pipe is a good option. If you're worried about strength, centre it in some larger ID pipe and fill the gap with epoxy

for extra peace of mind, wrap it in wire before pouring...
