Hi Lads,
I am looking for a decent barrel set for my Meng T-90A and I have seen that there is plenty to chose from (to my surprise).
Anyone has any experience with them, there are some new companies (at least to me) like Magic Models or Tetra Model Works.
Any pointers please?
Thank you,
Adam

Hi;
IMHO the kits Barrel should be just fine, but if you are into metal then any of the AM Barrels would work.My Personal Preference would be Model Point, but thats just me; the other makers have all kinds of Different Features that make them Accurate, such as Metal thermo Sleeve that has to be attached by Solder. Which Barrel that you choose is up to you, the only thing that you have to consider is Cost. How much do you want to Invest, the only Barrel that I would Stay Away from is the RB Item in that its Not Correct.
GOOD LUCK; MIKE.

isnt it the same barrel for the T64BV? Im building Trumpeters and was looking into an aftermarket barrel since the one that came in the kit is FUBAR now.

I used in my build the 125mm 2A46M (M-1, M-2) barrel without thermal jacket from Magic model (Item No.#: MM3529). It is very nice, with great details. I did not check if it accurate.
