Welcome to the party. 1" ID is gonna be tight. It's do-able but MWS wil eat up more space than direct soldering and you want to add a crystal chamber. I certainly don't want to make assumptions on your skill level or ability but a build of that size may be ambitious.
I built a saber for my daughter, 1.25"ID at 10" long (minus 2" for the blade holder) and as much as she wanted a CC my crum-fu was not up to the challenge. I did have a little more success with my removable chassis though, 1.25" ID at 10.5" length.
Good luck and MTFBWY
