Fiberglass would be ok. Blue tube not quite the size also. Apogee even had a damaged chunk at discount. Gonna go to PML and look now. thanks.

It's 6 inch ID.

 

[David Schwantz]

Thanks guys, will look.

Wildman has all sorts of 6” FG in pretty red. Looks awesome clear coated. Standard length is 66”.

 

[David Schwantz]

Yup, saw that, thanks. Red normally is my color, but this project will be OD. Would hate to ruin that red.

Most of the 6" tubes for rocketry are 6" ID If you want 6" OD, you will need coupler.

6.0 od is coupler

 

[David Schwantz]

Damn, I never thought of that. A coupler 24" long would have worked.

I've used couplers as body tubes on occasion. It's easy enough to make your own couplers for them as well:
