Rifling the barrel will be tough...tough to do really well and accurately without warping the barrel...but maybe a tensioned barrel design would help alleviate that issue.
To create a good airseal, to drive the pellet through/down the rifling and still leave "slop" for pellet variances might be tough with the hard plastics...but maybe a "softer" plastic would work.
Neat idea...

back in the good ol days, before airsoft, we had the occasional pellet gun wars, and ammo was bubble gum. You would have a wad of gum in your mouth, and you would take a little piece of it, ( a little smaller than a BB)
and place it in the barrel the same as a pellet. Worked good, although I can't recall what kind of range was effective.
Anyone with a pellet gun?, try it out. Would be interesting to hear what fps and range gum has. LOL
