it would work but 6 feet really isnt long and after a couple times hitting it you will probbably get bored. both of them will slide well specially if you keep them waxed so the rust doesnt built up once the paint chips, but i think your better off paying a welder to make something you want or using pvc. building your own stuff really isnt that hard and is very inexpensive especially if you only want to make a single barel pvc rail.

we had 4 of the bottom type set up, and they suck BALLS! just make one, seriously, it is worth the time, and the price will be the same. or buy a legit rail

You are so much better off to simply pay a steel fabricator to make a longer rail for you! A 6ft rail is shorter than almost any rail you will have ever seen! You will be on the rail for less than 1 second! It will suck.

Balls.
