Welcome to the forum . You can purchase any size pipe and make darts to custom fit that tube . The common commercial size's are 38 , 40 , 50 and 625 caliber . I would suggest buying a commercial one with matching darts to start . 625 caliber is the best all round choice . Check out Cold Steel .
Help!
Hello! I am new to blowguns but very interested. I have a couple questions. 
First - is it reasonable to simply purchase an aluminum (or another metal you guys recommend) pipe with the right dimensions?
Second - what are the right dimensions for a blowgun?
Third - if I purchase an unorthodox blowgun, how do I know which darts to purchase?
Thank you! Feel free to give as much information as needed; I’m new and could really use it! Best wishes.

Yes and No. There's a single piece and a two piece version. The two piece has a really nice threaded connector that would take a master machinist to reproduce. Aside from that you'd probably want a mouthpiece. I made one from conduit with a PVC coupler as a mouthpiece. Here's the conduit I used 1/2 in. x 5 ft. EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) - Steel-0550005000 - The Home DepotSo the Cold Steel .625 cal. blowgun can be reduced to essentially an aluminum pole? Also, can you shoot me a link to the 1/2 EMT conduit?
