How do you keep the slip joint from leaking once the barrel is extended? Some kind of compression flare???

Wondering the same. BTW, if it works, it will definitely be a piece of work. Looks good so far.

O-rings and enough contact area to prevent excessive wobble which might lift the rings and cause a leak should keep the seal.

Looking good.

I sketched up a collapseable combustion design a while back which can be even simpler as the projectile seals the barrel from the chamber so it's essentially what you have there minus the ball valve and plus a couple of wires and a screw cap.

that is awsome how much power does it get and got any specs

Edit: your chamber pipe is dwv and should not be used above 60psi
