Qualified with a pistol.Rifles are easy.
Yep, the barrel should work perfect for proball.The last case I got was .686".

There was a how-to on rifling pvc around here somewhere. Too lazy to find it at the moment but it shouldn't be too hard for you.

@MrCrowley:Each paintball marker manufacturer has their own custom threads, so finding a match in off the shelf PVC is unlikly.

@ShowNoMercy:
I suggest you just get a 3 or 4 foot section of 3/4" PVC, as said before, there may be other types of PVC that have ID's closer to .68"

And rifling or not will have no effect on accuracy, rifling does no good on a spherical projectile as spinning it will only cause it to fly off to the side, same principle of Hop-Up on an airsoft gun, but since you are spinning it perpendicularly to the axis of motion, the higher pressure will be on the side of the Paintball, causing it to be pushed off target.

In short, Rifling = BAD on PB/Airsoft guns.
