I am building landing gears shocks. Need a couple of feet of 4130 or
   equivalent
   2.000 ID x 0.063.  Local hydraulic vendors are out of stock of honed
   hydraulic cyl tubing. My regular suppliers also cannot help me.
   Looking for an inexpensive source.
   Anyone suggestions

 Robin I am interested in your landing gear project. Possibly I can make
 a set for my cozy. Let us know what you are applying it to. I can
 machine many things so I believe I know pretty close to what you are
 referring with the 2 inch id tube.

 Thanks!

I've machined all the parts for my shocks and just need the tubes cut (and
perhaps thinned down if the OD of the stock makes them too heavy).
The shocks are being built according to a design by Bob Barrows,
engineer/designer of the Bearhawk and Bearhawk Patrol.  Bob is a friend of
mine and manages to survive selling plans and engines for builders like
us.  He's a smart down-to-earth guy and I am sure he would be willing to
advise you on how robust the shocks in your application need to be.  I
don't think Bob would appreciate anyone distributing his drawings without
his involvement , but I am sure he would be willing to provide you with a
copy of his drawing. Bob hasn't moved to CAD yet, and doesnt even like to
use email. You can call him at 540-473-3661

Attached is a sketch of the Patrol shock I am building
