"You have to be alive to spend it..."
Wick's has it in stock. Spruce does also.
I will probably get mine from Wick's as they are close enough I can go pick it up.
A small order from Dillsburg (the chicken farm) two yrs ago was unsat. Originated from Peoples Repub of China. A friend and I drove up to Georgia to ACS. Their two sources are OK. ACS offered certification trail back to the foundry if you need.
McMaster-Carr in Chicago has it also, but they only advertise 6' lengths. They do carry some heavier wall thicknesses.
Online Metals also carries 4130 and I've ordered from them a few times, but they're no cheaper than ACS. They do have a better selection than ACS in other alloys and heavier sections.
AED Motorsport Products in Indianapolis is another very good source. We stock a full line of 4130 tube, aluminum tube and sheets as well as producing aerotube / streamline tube. In a variety of materials.
