I'm pretty sure stock darts don't work in any RSCB even if you use different sized PVC or CPVC.

As cheerios said, you can't use stock darts in an rscb except streamlines, which still jam alot due to the rubber tip. But, you can make CDTD's (converted dart tag darts) Basically, you rip the tip off, there should be a little stem to it, you cut that stem off, put it into the dart, and give it a weight and some hotglue and/or felt. But really, making stefans is easier. The materials are readily available in home depot and lowes, and maybe a trip to Dick's or Sports authority for BB's or Slingshot ammo.

Only streamline and stefans work in rscb clips.

They are Bullshiting you. You can use SCH40 PVC for a barrel and and 3/4 CPVC as the clip.

Someone recently made a post in the homemades picture thread where they used drilled out 1/2" PVC for the clip and regular for the barrel. That seemed to work just fine for him.

Drilling out PVC would be a huge pain in the ass, when you could just use 1/2" Thinwall for the clip, and Sch 40 for the barrel. I've done it, and it works pretty well. Taggers are better than the sonics, but all three types will work. You can also this same setup for Mega size (5/8") stefans.

Yeah, I used PVC for an RSCB in my HAMP n arrow. It works great, although it jams more often than a normal RSCB. Using thinwall PVC for the clip would have been easier, but drilling out the PVC to 5/8" wasn't too hard, and was all I had on hand.
If you do this, make sure you put ramp on both the clip and barrel (dremel out the inside so that it has a very large ID before the actual barrel/clip). Before I did that, it jammed about half the time.

If you can't find thinwall pvc try 3/4 cpvc. I use it for my mega (5/8) clips.

Thanks everyone I think I will use Draconis idea because that is what I have.
