Try asking for 152.4mm everything is metric these days and yes 152.4 is 6". Steel Express will probably have what you want if they supply small amounts

.

I thought you were kidding, Dusty, but I've just had a look at the list of sizes on this page: **LINK**

https://www.steelexpress.co.uk/shop/product-category/seamless-tubes/cds-colddrawn-seamless/

… Clearly Imperial sizes, cunningly camouflaged as Metric
