Well, here in Moscow, Idaho, I find it in a special display of various brass, 
aluminum, and steel rod, tube, and sheet at our local hardware stores...both 
of them.

Also, at hobby stores. Model airplane builders use a lot of it.

The tube comes in 1 foot long and 3 feet long pieces and cost is very 
reasonable.

One 3 foot long piece is good for quite a number of adapters.

They have sizes down to 1/8" and up to 1".

I would imagine that any town at least as big as Moscow, Idaho (25K 
population) would have one or the other source.
