Help with golf and tennis ball barrels.

Also it has to be 2" Sch80 PVC

The grey stuff.

has anyone used 2.5" electrical conduit as a TB barrel? It says sch40 but not much more except "rigid" and numbers.

[MrCrowley]

Well it should have some sort of ASXXXX code on it I think, you can find out if it's rated if you have the AS code.

I think it's AS anyway

[octane89]

Well I will try to find out. I think it had a AS code but we shall see.

Prime/cement the ENTIRE thing???

Ideally the whole thing, but that might be difficult to get together before it sets, unless you use a suitable cement.

However, if you just cement a 6-12" section near the base of the barrel, that will be absolutely fine - that's sufficently more than any fitting would do.

They had 2.5" conduit pvc at my Lowes which I used for a barrel on my piston cannon. They had no reducers, so I ghetto fitted it with a 1.5"x2" threaded bushing without a hex and glued it into the barrel. It worked quite well for tennis-balls.

I was thinking of trying that, but Im just tired of making my own parts so I bought 2" barrel.

Lol no I dont want that to happen. How do I keep it from coming off? Prime/cement the ENTIRE thing??? Damnit I might just order it from bcarms...

Man now that is the epitome of laziness, dude if you can't figure that part out for yourself you shouldn't be making a spud gun.
