I originaly made it out of PVC but it wasn't strong enough to deal with the cycling of the action so now I'm having one machined out of aluminium.

I've got plans coming out my rear end for potato guns! I've even got a fully automatic belt fed spud gun but those plans are not to be shared (as far as I know I'm the only one to succesfuly complete a fully automatic spud gun). Try http://www.spudtech.com/
It's the best info site you'l find on the subject and I'm thinking of ordering some rifled barrels from him.
I've made a few spud guns out of PVC, but I don't have any pics. They're actually pretty simple to make, and require the following materials:
-(1) 3" end cap clean out plug
-(1) piece 3" sch40 pipe 18-20" long
-(1) 3"x2" reducer (standard reducer, not a bushing type)
-(1) piece 2" sch40 pipe 36-40" long
-(1) lantern lighter (finger unit that you rotate to light lanterns)
-(1) PVC cement
You can get the pipe, fittings, and glue for less than $15. The lantern lighters can be purchased in the camping section of Wal Mart for around $3.
Do a search, and you should be able to find plans. I use deodorant rather than hairspray, as dodorant leaves a more watery residue after combustion (hairspray is more sticky).
