gazmosis[501st] Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 It's right in the neighborhood of 18 1/4 inches. Definitely not longer than 18 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Master Builder Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I need the barrel length because Im making a PVC Mod. The length of the barrel is 18 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Master Builder Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 FOr the barrel, how thick is it supposed to be in PVC size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Are you referring to wall thickness? All depends how accurate you are going for. If you want a duplicate wall thickness, the tube should be 1 1/2 inches outside diameter with a 1/16 th inch wall thickness. PVC is just not available in these measurements. Acrylic tubing is, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Master Builder Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 IM using 1 1/4 thickness of PVC, Im talking bout how long should the pipe be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Plus or minus 1/8" won't matter so much. Go with 18 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 DO NOT USE 1 1/4" pipe... that is WAY too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 if you want a pipe milled I do help to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadder[TK] Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I took your suggestion Vern and went to Lowes yesterday to check out the grey coduit pipe. The 1.5" inch seems huge compared to all other blasters I've seen (or comparing it to my hasbro mod.) I measured the 1.25 pipe and its 40mm in outer diameter. Isn't that what we want?

chadder[TK] Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Oh...and one more question about understanding the template above. You and gaz say the length of the pipe should be around 18.25 inches...but the template above has 8" and 8". So where do you put them together to get the 18.25 inches? Thanks a lot!
