So there is nowhere in my area that I know of that that sells fiberglass and the only place that sells the right pvc is expensive. Are dowel rods legal? What about other (preferably cheap) alternitives?

You can use them, but you have to duct tape the entire shaft.

Being me, I still highly recommend fiberglass. Keep asking around town for places that might sell it. Farm and tractor related stores almost always seem to have some, so keep looking. They're definitely a pretty inexpensive route to building weapons.

Thank you. I have one more place to try before I resort ot dowel rods. I am trying to avoid pvc. It breaks easier, flexes too much, and is too heavy.
