I don't know what to sleeve 2" in, why would you need to do that? If the 1.5" is SDR 21 it fits perfectly in 2" sch40

Doesn't 1 1/2'' Sch. 40 have the same OD as 1 1/2'' SDR-21? Just sleeve the 1 1/2'' in some 2'' sch. 80.

Yeah, your question is really vague as to what you're trying to accomplish.

alright, im not very good at drwing, but you asked for it! :twisted:

i am trying to make an inline combustion cannon with a 2in. chamber and a 1 1/2in. barrel, but i want to put it in a larger tube so that it looks like a buzooka or rocket launcher.

here is the diagram:

click on it to get a better picture.

the red is 1 1/2 in. the blue is 2 in. and the purple is what i would sleeve the entire thing in.
