I have an AFV club Israeli Shot Cal Centurion. What replacement gun Barrel should I use? I checked Sprue Brothers and there is nothing for it.

Thanks!

The only replacement barrel I know of would be the now OOP resin sleeved barrel from Inside The Armour.

The '73 Shot Cal Centurion had a 105mm non sleeved barrel. I don't know if it was an American or British or German gun.

It would likely be a Royal Ordnance L7.

Have you looked at Leopard Workshop?

You didn't tell me what variant of the Sho't you were building, I guess it was the 83 version which had a jacketed barrel.

EDIT: You can't use the Keopard's L7 on the Shot Kal it had a differant counterweight and bore excavator.

I thought the kit gun was a 105mm non sleeved. At least the one I built had that. Maybe post a picture?
