Quite a few of the full-size replica cannon you see at Civil War reenactments these days have tubes that started out as surplus naval gun barrels from decommissioned scrapped vessels. Cut those down to the right length, and you can be sure to have a barrel that won’t blow apart on you. When I was active in the hobby back in the 1990s, we had several of those around.
