Barrel depot makes one that is half the price of the Aber. CMK also is much cheaper but, the blast deflector at the end is resin, but you usually geta mantlet with it. and there is also Eduard and Jordio. Price shop as I don't think any are that much better than each other

Here's a pic of a CMK gun barrel fitted to an Italeri Jagdpanther.
