thanks a bundle for the help guys. Ill probably just go and buy new pipe simply because i want to rest assured.

nuts, the bore is NSF-PW and the chamber is NSF-DWV. I hope to god I dont need to find new pipe, do I? I dont want to shell out more money for new fittings, etc.

Could I just attach some speaker wire to the ignition and use my garage as a bunker?

I've heard from numerous sites that schedule 40 will burst. All I've made is a basic combustion, 2' of 4" for the chamber and 5' of 2" for the bore. Neither Menards nor Home Depot carried SCH 80 therefore I just went with the 40 assuming that with my basic gun it should be fine. Did I assume correct...
