Yes, metal is even better because it is less affected by CO2 temperature, unlike pvc. Go for it!
I remember seeing a metal pipe on Mcmaster that had really good dimensions for a paintball barrel, for a good price, but I lost the link.
Good luck!

Well, I've got together most of the materials, and have begun assembly. So far, I turned the barrel down to sleeve into 1" sch 40 pvc, modded the ammo feed tee, cut some pipe and dry fitted stuff together. The paintballs have an excellent fit into the 3/4" sch 120 pvc.
