Does anyone know where I can find Titanium tube that is thick enough for a suppressor?

I have found lots-a thin stuff, but nothing as thick as I need it. I think I will need about .0800 wall thickness and 1.50 to 2.00" outer diameter.

I found this one ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/2-5-OD-x-435-WT-x-10-Grade5-Titanium-Tube-6AL-4V-RARE-/220710651751?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3363614767) but it's very thick and I don't think I need it that big but I think it would work.

Does anyone know where I can find titanium tube in .0800 thickness or bigger?

The problem is I'd like it to be a small order.

And also that it has to be GRADE-5 or GRADE-9 or GRADE-12 I think.

Have you checked McMaster-Carr?

Try http://www.titaniumjoe.com

He has plenty of seamless grade 9 which is still awesome stuff.   The grade 5 will be almost impossible to find and you would pay out the wazoo for it like you've already seen.  I bought my Form 1 tubing from him for about $25 shipped.  (1 ft of grade 5).

Try www.onlinemetals.com

They sell by the foot, but I don't know if they carry titanium though...

They do - but only grade 2 and nothing bigger than 1" OD in seamless.  Welded they have 1.5" but it's not worth messing with it.  You need seamless for suppressors.
