I'd be a little concerned about 1/8" fittings breaking with normal wear and tear (not pneumatic functioning, just getting knocked around).
As long as they're not made of paper I wouldn't be too concerned.
What's wrong with paper?

I would have never of thought of this technique pretty good results to and could laminate the end result in epoxy to make it last.
Less weight and a lot less money out of my pocket.

just quick update on what i have done so far
Main problem at the moment is finding a place for the internals to fit as they are pretty large compared to gun overall size.

If you're using it with plastic BBs it should be fine.

Well the inner bore was not centre, so the wall thickness was not equal all the way round when I bored it out to the required diameter I test fired it a couple of times and the wall split
