hi raven
            the 1st thing , you need to cut the barrel off flush with the part of the mantlet the barrel recoils into, then you glue in the extension into the mantlet, then glue the barrel on the other end of the extension, then abit of filling and painting, at the same time as doing this the mantlet needs to be turned through 180% its wrong on a standard hl Tiger

Apparently the reason Heng Long make the barrel short is so it fits in their standard size box
