I have used the 3/8 steel, the 3/8 stainless, and the 3/8 brass tubing.
I am giving up on brass because of dissimilar metals.
I am giving up on stainless because of work hardening when machining.
I am now just using the 3/8" steel tubing.
You may want to turn the heads on some action screws down to 3/8".
Pre compress the pillar when epoxied into the stock with the receiver, but not the bottom metal.

Are we a nation of competing ideas, or a nation of forced conformity of thought?
