Hi everyone,
have anyone here used a model point barrel?what do u think of it?
Thank
Tim

Yep great barrels have one for the M1A1 or A2 .
Cost a bunch of bucks but real nice barrel!
If cost is a matter there are Eduard and now Aber plus JR and Hot barrels quite a few companies that have them.

I am going to buy a Tiger I barrel of Model Point and try to fit it to my Tamiya kit,have anyone tried this or anyone can tell me if i can fit it without serious problems?
Tim

While I can't comment on the Tiger barrel, I can echo Jeff's remarks that they are excellent as well as expensive. I've got a few, one for a BMP-1, Marder 1A2, ASU-57 and another for the 105mm recoilless rifle on the M151A1. Superbly crafted, the multipiece ASU-57 more closely resembles a precision instrument than a plastic model accessory part. Very high tech little gun barrel.

If the do have a Tiger barrel, it would be made for either the Tamiya or Academy kits.

I can't comment on the WWII German stuff, I'm still using up old Jordi Rubio and now the newer Eduard barrels, but for modern Russian stuff (BMP 1,2,3) they can't be beat. Especially since they are the only ones making aftermarket modern Russian stuff.

The ZU 23 barrels require some assembly, the BMP barrels, antennae pots, smoke launchers and missile tubes do not.

I am very happy with all my Model Point barrels.

If your looking for good Pricing on Modelpoint Barrels, Try Modelpoint USA. They have a banner ad on Armorama and the prices are very reasonable. The M256 120mm Barrel for the M1A1/A2 from VLS is $37 bucks, but if you buy it from Modelpoint USA they are only $19 dollars or so...

I've placed two orders from them and gotten them in about 2-3 days and Dimitry gives great customer service

As far as price is concerned, MP Tiger I barrel is the cheapest barrel on the market today (to the best of my knowledge). We sell it for $5.59. On the other hand it comes without muzzle brake.

Not really. Eduard as well as CMK (probably repack of Eduard), and Barrel Depot produce some barrels for post war Soviet vehicles. But MP offer more choice and in most cases they are the better one. I got several of AM barrels for T-55 upgrades, the MP one is the best one, though the Eduard and CMK offering comes with PE parts.

Well, PE is a nice thing, no doubt. But I don't see much sense in using aftermarket barrels if they are dimensionally inaccurate. Take a look at the Eduards 2A46M, for example. It's 5 mm too short, that's 175 mm in a real life. What's the point in replacing kit's inaccurate barrel with another inaccurate barrel?

Tiger I barrel is only $5.59?? it is not at all costly,but why it is so cheap??isn't it a high quality barrel??
Tim

It is, but as I mentioned above muzzle brake is not included, that's why it's cheaper than Eduard and Aber.

Actually Model Point products are not that expensive as you have probably heard. That reputation was caused by some dealers who sold MP products with a 150-200% margin. Completely tired of this situation MP has decided to open a retail sales office in the US (for starter) and bring our products to you folks at the reasonable price. If you would check the prices at www.modelpoint.us you might be pleasantly surprised.

Though it is cheaper,but the quality is still the best?
Have anyone used a Precision barrel?what do u think of it?
Thanks
Tim
