Does anyone know where in North America I can purchase MR Modelbau gun barrels? Or at least somewhere in the world where it won't cost 2-1/2 times the cost of the barrel for shipping? 36 Euros to ship an 14 Euro gun barrel from MR Modelbau in Germany seems a little extreme.

Ask them to send it as a "letter" (padded envelope).... should do the trick and be way cheaper.

I was thinking R&J but looks like they dropped the line. Which barrel?

I can recommend the MR German 105 and 128mm barrels, well worth the money. For some reason postage to and from USA is now silly money and prevents me buying from US. I can only suggest finding others to order from MR and split the postage costs.
