I am trying to get my hands on some Clear PolyCarb piping, and my local store only sells it in 3"x8' lengths. I would probably only use at max 2' of it. Is there anyone who would like to split it with me? It will probably end up costing about $10-$15 per foot plus shipping, but I'm not sure exactly.
I have not committed to buying it yet, but I would like to see how much interest there is in it, so I can see if it is worth my purchase.
Edit: Woot Woot! I just hit sergeant!
Clear PolyCarb Comb. Chamber
How thick would the wall be? If Novacastrian put a nail through the 12mm stuff here would it be that safe?
on second thoughts it probably would be safe considering he shot it out of a combustion which would give it more power. the actual combustion its self didnt do that damage the ammo did.

If I were you, I would just buy a clear combustion chamber from Sgort's Lauchpotaoes.com. You would save a lot of money, and it comes pre-cut to 12".

not really, it costs me about $10-$15 a foot, and he charges $30 per foot... I dont think that Sgort would save me any money, especially after I pay for shipping.

Yes it would be plenty safe. I would use 3mm wall thickness- I have in the past made chambers from Acrylic, so Poly-Carb will be fine.Mr.Russ wrote:too add to ^^
the title does say its for a combustion chamber.

That could be rather dangerous. Acrylic is 40 times tougher than glass but when it shatters it does so like glass in very sharp pieces.
The chambers that i have made out of Acrylic are small ones.
Use if if you want but be warned- it can crack without notice and the next time you fire you may lose an eye.
