Hi guys,

I am stuck with a problem... I am trying to clean up the muzzlebreak of the CMK Hotbarrels 88mm PaK 43/3 L/71. The main problem is that there is a load of flash in the openings... currently I trying to get rid of it by using an exacto-knife....

The barrel looks quite nice.. anybody have any tips on getting rid of the flash ? Because, though the barrel looks really nice, I am tempted to go for the Aber barrel...

Can someone help me out ? Thanks in advance...

Harm

You might try supergluing some sandpaper to flat toothpicks, I have found some that are wider on one end than the other. They are strong enough when you apply sanding pressure, but have some flex to them.

tip of a pointed file...or trim an emery board to fit the opening.

I picked up a set of hobby files that include flat, triangular, semi round and round. The round one works great for cleaning muzzle breaks. Check out the following link. Good luck
