Hi all
What type of aftermarket metal barrel can be used as an L7 105mm british gun?
can i use one of the M68 metal barrels?
I know CMD makes a resin L7, but i prefer to use metal.

Eran, it seems that the US M68 gun and the Israeli 105mm are both variants or close relatives to the British L7. Someone more knowlegeable than me even said that the only visual difference is with the gun breech, which should be invisible in most models.

But if you really want a metal L7 for your next project, than try Elefant models new IDF accessory lines at www.elefantcorp.cz

I never used their stuff or seen any picture but I'm willing to sacrifice you on the altar of experimentation.

The biggest difference is the design of the fume extractor.I too have not seen the Elephant stuff but have heard some decent stuff. The list on their site however must be seen as a wish list very little of the IDF stuff is available.
