Hello, fellow hobbysts,
I am trying to decide between two afermarket metal barrels for M26 Pershing tank. Jordi Rubio 90 mm M3 barrel (TG-34) vs. RB models 90 mm M3 barrel (35B85). I couldn't really find reviews on them. Which one is better? Any help will be appreciated.

The RB barrel is far superior, the muzzle brake is a multi part brass unit. The Jordi one is cast in white metal, mine wasn't even drilled open.

This is the JB one and the muzzel break is brass not white metal

In another thread somewhere on this site it is said that JB & RB are the same product, it was said that RB made them and JB sold them.

Is JB and Jordi Rubio the same thing? I did not think so.
