Have you considered making a series of shorter sections which can be sanded or otherwise refined and don't have to have a straight seam, sticking them in series and then putting skin over the top? As only the opening need be visible it's not essential for a gun barrel to be hollow all the way.
Spaghetti can be a useful diameter to roll a thin tube around. So can thicker wire.
