Hey guys, on my hybrid I want to get a golfball barrel, and since ABS/PVC is weak and alot of trouble connecting it with a metal chamber,
I would like to know if a 1 1/2'' 10S steel pipe with a 1.682 I.D and the wall 0.1 thick would be strong enough for a hybrid that is planning going 6x prop or mapp/air.
Thanks
Strong enough for golfball barrel

You could just use 1.5in sdr21 and sleeve it in 2in sch80. It isnt hard to connect to the metal chamber at all, just get a threaded fitting and thread it in.
But if you really dont want to use pvc then the mentioned metal will work.

I, on the other hand, have actually seen a plastic barrel fail on a hybrid. It was ABS, which is why I'm still here, but it was incredibly violent, and PVC has very dangerous failure characteristics.
Use a steel pipe. SCH 10 should be fine for 6x. If you want a higher safety factor, use SCH 160 2" pipe.
