Tiger 1 Aluminium Barrel

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and in the planning stage of starting a Tiger 1 build.

I plan on adding a few modifications (PE grills, Schumo gear reduction) and was thinking about replacing the barrel with the Aber aluminium one. A side from buying the schumo metal elevation lever is there anything else that would be advisiable to do/purchase for the barrel conversion? Also does the Aber brass muzzle break require soldering or can you get away with using Fleky 5K CA?

Thanks in advance.

It does not require soldering. I’ve used it myself with CA and it’s fine. Image

I would not use the brass muzzle brake as this puts a lot of strain on the elevation motor.

;)

Apparently it just ruins the balance of the gun with he metal muzzle break.

I always use metal elevation arms on mine and my next Tiger won’t be any different.

I have just had the Schumo barrel delivered.
