Barrel

Post by afv »

Howdoo,
can anyone tell me the length of a h/l tiger inner aluminium barrel, the reason i ask is i've got a piece of ally tube left over from a barrel i made for a tiger and maybe some one can make use of it, just want to make sure it's not too short

regards  Jack.

One can shorten the inner barrel to about 175mm from 212mm and get a noticeable increase in performance.  Just be sure to enlarge the end of the muzzle brake some!

Have you done this decrease with the standard barrel or a creeping death turret? On my tank as the barrel recoils it mates with a machined Tamiya Barrel, lots of power and very accurate we hope,this turret has been a three month project.Today all componets are here and ready for assembly,but a shorter inner barrel would seem to lose velocity? Are you useing the standard plastic outer barrel?
