Brass tubing for 1/72 scale

Does anyone know any place that sells hollow tubing (brass, copper, stainless steel or aluminum) that I can use for modelling 1/72 scale 15mm, 20mm and 30mm cannons? The local hobby shop here is a BIT thin on supllies.

If my math is right, the 30 mm would require an Inner Diameter of 0.0164 " and an OD of say twice that or 0.0328". Haven't been able to find anything that small.

I've read that it's possible to use syringe tubing but no idea where to look.

Anyone have any suggestions?

For these barrels and other things I use injection needles that are available in most of drag-stores.Also you can ask for them your doctore.He should know where you can purchase them as well. These needles are offered of a few different diameters so there is no problem to fit them as barrels of 15mm, 20mm and 30mm cannons.
