There are or were some brass castings of the whole MG but I've never seen just the barrel. The company was something like collector brass, Check Mission Models.

A company which is also doing .50 Cal barrels is Adlers Nest whose products can be seen:

Jim,
I don't think Alders Nest produces .50 cal barrels. They produce the 7.62 .30 cal barrels , but not 12.7 .50 cal barrels. The only thing that I can see in their catalog is two sets of .50 calibre ammo rounds, in both live and spent form. If you know of anywhere that actually lists Alders Nest .50 calibre barrels, then point us in that direction, but HLJ and Rainbow 10 both don't carry a .50 calibre barrel from Alders Nest.
Regards
Matt

To my knowledge Adler doesn't make a .50 barrel, yet...
The best you could do is scratch one from appropriate size brass/copper rod, then fit it with the cooling sleeve from a PE set. Wouldn't be too hard to do...
You might want to have a look at this review. Terry Ashley does the most fair reviews I have ever seen.
