Barrel removal

Post by Ragnar »

Just curious if by removing the small ring on the barrel of my HL Panzer III it’s possible to remove and replace the barrel with a bit longer one....similar to the one on the P IV with a muzzle brake?Image

No, the barrel slots into the airsoft gun and is held in place by the manlet.

Got’cha kinda thought so as it seemed to be pretty solid .....ok cause I just looked at the PIII series information I have and they never had the type of barrel I envisioned anyways :D
Guess I’ll just have’ta buy a bigger tank soon :haha:

Good morning,
I have a Pz III upper and turret left over from the early StuG III Ausf B build. I could wrangle up a short barrel for it but the builder would need to provide his own recoil and elevation or take ownership of an extra Taigen unit that I have laying around ( Yes, yes, I am shamelessly trying to clear out my spares a bit since new builds on the way will make those storage boxes overflow otherwise :o)
regards,
Painless

What???

Auto correct or early hours? :/ ;)
I rather took it as meaning it doesn't matter what you(TINY) have got you(TINY) will want to changeit . As it is small you want it bigger if it WAS BIG YOU WOULD WANT IT SMALLER.
A sort of tank modelling version of 'the grass is always greener' .
I could see no insult explicit or even implied .

Autocorrect and grammar/spell checking are prevalent on just about every post I make (something about my thoughts are faster than my fingers). :D
