Last post didn't really clarify things for me, but if you are asking how to make the storage box handles better there are a few options.

1st option is 3D printing them if you have a printer:

2nd option is Shumo handles, but rarely in stock:

3rd option Special Ops Models resin version:

I'm not sure what you are referring to as a "gun shield" on the Pershing. The Super Pershing has extra armor on the mantlet and the machine gun doesn't have a gun shield.

thx for the video. in watching it they mention that the muzzle brake comes off so you can install an extension to the barrel to make it the correct length. any info on this? where do i get the extension? and has anyone done it? better i ask first instead of pulling and prying and cutting blind.
