I am building Italeri's M4A1 Sherman and the main 76mm gun barrel is a little warped. Is there an after-market company that make one in brass or aluminum? And has anyone used them?

Jordi Rubio makes a very nice one that can also be used on the M-18 Hellcat as well as the late war/Korean War M4A3E8. It is item number TG-32 76mm M1A2 and includes a muzzle brake and the thread collar seen on the Italeri M4A1 version.
