Do these two tanks share a common gun tube? If so, an aftermarket Barrel would fit either kit. If not, do you have a recommendation for the T72B3 kit (Meng)

Hi;
There are A Dozen Barrels to pick from; some are; Voyager, RB, Magic Model, Model point, just to name A few, and with or with the Thermo Sleeve. In Most cases the kits Barrel is just fine, and the thing that Metal Barrels that I Don't like is the PE retaining straps that you have to try and affix around the Barrel. The 2A46M8 I think is the current 125mm now in use, but I mite be Wrong !
CHEERS; MIKE.

This one says it's for both. I really wish someone would do a nice 3D printed one, or a nice resin one. Broken up into 3 sections to help with warpage.

Would this resin version from Accurate Armour help?
