BTW nice gun
The PVC is sch40, and the end caps are made out of sch40 also. the air chamber on your gun needs to be one size up from the size of your barrel (I used a 3" air chamber). Remember, use the sch40 pvc pipe and fittings, dont use the DWV or thin walled. And the last thing, dont pump your gun up past 120psi unless you built it out of sch80.
