Hi guys


I have had Tamiya's old M-41 in my stash for some time now. The other night I got bored and decided why not. I pulled her down and gave it a good look. So I'm looking for ideas on justb what to do with it. That brings me to my questions.
1st, Did the Israelis ever use the M-41 ? Hopefully during the 6 day war.
2nd. Does anyone make a metal barrel ? If so who ?

Thanks guys, This would be a big help.

Hi Harry,
The Israeli's didn't use the M41. The Lebanese Army had a few and they would have seen action during the 70's.

I don't know of a metal barrel for the M41 being made at this time. Someone else may know either way.

Hi guys

Thanks guys for the info and the fast replys. Well that kills the idea of doing the 41 in the IDF.
Jason, Do you have a site for the Barrel Depot ? I tried Barreldepot.com and came up empty.
Thanks again guys

Great Models Webstore carries Barrel Depot products...but Robin will probably cut you a better deal.
