Looking for a small "barrel" gas tank

I'm not sure what the correct nomenclature is, but i'm looking for a small tank like the one on Ron's Orange Mini. Someone know a place??

or if you don't know ron's mini, like this one...

I searched for a long time and after seeing sh*tty dented crap going for $50+ on ebay I decided to have two custom steel tanks made, I received them in the mail yesterday and they came out unreal, ~3/4 gallon (4" dia. x 14" long with dome ends), pressure tested, vented cap, 2 mounting bungs on top and a 3/8" NPT fitting on bottom.

they are not cheap at $100 each but they are worth it to me.
I will post some pictures tonight when I get home.

well just bought this tank ive been looking for one myself. It looks like it has a little dent there but nothing a blast cabinet and some paint wont fix. Sometimes these old pieces like this are worth the money. I sent him an offer of $30 and he accepted it. ill keep an eye out for ya though.
