If you are looking for cheap, just use aluminum foil.
If you are looking for good durable steel, uses 4140. But it's not cheap. You could probably buy a factory barrel for less than you will pay for seamless annealed 4140 tubing and shipping.

Just because you can build something, does not always make it worth the expense. Mass production works pretty well at reducing costs per unit. |
