Just grabbed these out of the mail box today, and even though I don't need them right now, I can't stop staring at them. They are gorgeous. I hope Schatton, does more, .30 cal, .50 cal would be sweet.

Those are pretty cool. Ive seen them before but never really got what they are useful for. But who cares, if you can take them apart, thats sick! Have fun with them, and on your next build, have one in there and show us some pics.

Will do Tsunam, I hope to use them on my next 6 rad, unless something elso comes along first. By the way I ordered them through Scalewerke.com. Great web store and Sudhesh is top notch with customer service, not affiliated with him, just a happy satisfied customer.

Hi Bruce,
They were $7.50 U.S. a set. I ordered through email even though the site was down. As far as I know they are still taking orders.

Look pretty awesome to me. Drilling out the barrel ends on MG's is a tedious task in my opinion so that would be a help. Opening up the cooling holes may be a bit overkill though.

Do these have the correct rifling machined in them also?!? Sorry, just kidding.

Yes the barrel is hollow and has rifling. The ammunition that comes with the barrel can actually be chambered. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Pretty sweet stuff right there. Remarkable what is available to modelers these days.
