Tazz:

Sounds like fun!

But I wonder why you want to replace the kit barrel with an aftermarket barrel? Doesn't it come with a metal barrel? If so, what's wrong with it?

Yeah, my question exactly. My AFVClub M-10 came with a turned barrel. Did the achilles not? Interesting.

Well Tazz try gluing the muzzel brake on before spending your well earned money for nothing ..If you don't like the way it looks well then go ahead and buy an new one... You should keep your money to buy some shells to put in the tank instead... Or did they give you some 17pounder shells in this kit?I know my M10 came without any ammo.
