Also, onlinemetals.com is a good source for many shapes and sizes of  
6061-t6 and 6063 aluminum. They will sell as little as one foot but at a  price.
 
At times Ebay can be a good source for shorter lengths.

I have  been wary of ordering tubing from McMaster-carr or many of the 
other  industrial places... if you look you will see that they don't specify 
that the  tubing is seamless, it is also not one of the common antenna tempers 
like t6  or t832.  they also only have 6' lengths listed unless longer stuff 
is  elsewhere.  I prefer to go to a supplier like  marmon-keystone:

eid=1&producttype=alumseamless#top

if  you use their search app you can see that they break down tubing by 
welded or  seamless and its all t6.  they also have longer lengths, up to 24' I 
 think for aluminum... and at least they used to have free delivery at 
least in  some areas.  and they offer services like swaging, though I have 
never 
 used them for that.
