Hi all! I'm interested in getting a replacement barrel for the M242 25mm Bushmaster Chain Gun for my Tamiya M2 IFV kit. Do you have any suggestions as to who makes a nice aluminum one, and maybe a website or two that sell them? Thanks.

Thanks, Vodnik! That's a really nice barrel...especially with the muzzle brake!

Just curious, are there any others out there, or just that one?

Barrel Depot makes one as well but not as nice and less expensive. Visit The Barrel Store to see lists of available barrels by different companies.

Barrel Depot also have one (see below), but I have not seen it in person. I have Model Point barrel and it looks in reality just as good as on photos.
