As the topic says, can I get away with this rifling? I made this rifling on the kit supplied alu barell on my Sherman 105mm. I'd like to use the alu barell, but if this rifling is too rough and totally outta scale I'll use the plastic one with rifling.

Here's a couple of pics, waddaya say?
It looks rougher in these close ups than in real life.

Feedback appreciated.

Per-Erik,

The rifling looks ok to me, but then I don't normally look down another man's barrel.

Best regards,

Me neither...

Decision made: I'm going with the plastic barrel...when painted the rifling on the metal one looked like s#€%.

Thanx for your time, Lawrence!

Hello There,
Good thing that you decided to use the plastic barrel. That's would be way too much rifling and it looks straight anyway.
