I bought mine from DRD and gave him the measurement I wanted.

Local i'd try Kroc ? really anyone with a decent lathe, it's a straight forward machine shop job.

I do it too.

Edit: ont58! I don't know where you live. But Josh is correct. Shortening cylinders can be a straight forward job. It will save you lots of money in freight, if you can get your local shop to do a set up like the one in the picture. Simple plugs support the ends of the cylinder.
