Hi all

What could be a replacement barrel for the Trumpeter LAV-III 25mm Bushmaster cannon?

I have looked at RB models for their Bushmaster for the LAV-25, but it looks different than the LAV III cannon. Can I use this one for the LAV III or??

Thank you

Ole

I'm pretty sure the resin barrels are cast with wire down the center to stop warpage. i have one of the resin barrels and they are pretty good.

Hello Ole,
When Jason B reviewed my barrel, its was in the days when I only used a thin bit of brass wire. I now use (after Jason's review) a thicker gauge of brass wire and the barrel is also now cast in one piece.
Cheers Jason
PS, would you like some ammo added to the kit? I have done two types of rounds and a belt of 10.
