Mill lots are usually cast billet sized - all of one casting (about 6
tons as I recall from an Alcoa plant visit) rolled/drawn into what you
want, so it is unlikely you will get the attention of a mill.
Jorgensen Steel and Tube Service are among the largest distributors, but
very thin in the odd wall thicknesses needed for telescopic tubing. I
found better DOM tube stock 6061/63 at DXE, Texas Towers, and On Line
Metals (division of ThyssenKrupp). On line provided me mill lengths
from Thyssen on request. DXE only provides up to 6' lengths, except for
a couple of boom sizes.
