Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good source (manufacturer) that I could look for to use for replacement bow guns on my US WWII tanks. Thinking M4 and M26's. Because what I found looks like the tips are different on the ones I have found (look like regular MG barrels).

Thanks.

This might be of interest to you:

There are also offerings from RB Model and Eureka XXL (in their tow cable sets)
And yes, Master Model products are some of the best on the market in terms of accuracy, precision and overall quality.

Hi! I like to use the RB Models metal barrels- RB makes(d) barrels for ABER, so you can't go wrong with them. Cheap too, in comparison to their competition...
