Hello everyone
Anyone know which aftermarket barrel would be best for the AFV Club M18 Hellcat with the muzzle brake?
Thank you

Hello Calvin
Thank you for mentioning the Barrel Depot one - I know it says Academy but I was thinking it probably could work on the AFV Club also. I have seen it on one M18 model and it looks good.
I was debating between the Jordi Rubio, Barrel Depot and the Armorscale M1A2 (Sherman)76mm to use. Wanted to get some opinions from people who might have used any of these.
As far as a build log, I have never done one
, when the time comes, maybe I will give it a try.
THANKS
Michael

I would go with a RB models barrel. It has a multi-piece brake which has much better detail then the Jordi Rubio one.

on second thought, go with Jimmy's idea, that RB barrel looks sweet!
