Looking for a source for a chunk of gun drilled rod. 8mm or 5/16 OD, 45 or so inches long, with a .075 or so hole through it length-wise. Hole size/finish isn't critical, it's an air passage. Preferred material is stainless steel.
Any suggestions as to where I could purchase such an item?
Have you looked at seamless tube? McMaster stocks SS 5/16 OD x .147 ID in 6 foot lengths. You can almost certainly get closer to your desired ID here...
Any chance you could use some schedule 80 pipe from mcmaster?
If you need more than one..Id be happy to sell you an Eldorado Gun drill that I own, cheap.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence, and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years . It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints, and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
