Problem- Finding Hollow-Bar Stock in the U.S.

[Japazo]

Hey everyone,

Ive been browsing the web for hours now trying to find a good supplier of thick walled hollow bar stock. They must be U.S. based or have a facility in the U.S. I am looking for aluminum as well as carbon and alloy steels.

An example of something I would like to find a supplier for:

4.5"OD 12L14 leaded steel, with an inside diameter of 2" or smaller.
or
3.25"OD 6061 aluminum, with an inside diameter of 1.5" or smaller.

Does anyone know of a good supplier of materials like this in the U.S.? I found a handful of companies in the U.K. that supply literally thousands of products like this. Does America not see the benefit of hollow bar stock extrusions or am I not looking in the right places??

Any suppliers that anyone can list would help. Those located in the southwest (Arizona) would be even better. Thanks for the help, hopefully someone has some clues!
