Hi All,
Been working on my chally this morning stripped down the turret and noticed that the front section of the barrel is warped. It's looking down!!!!. Has anyone noticed this with there tank. Looking at some tanks on the web and they all look as mine does.
.any input from you guys would be helpful. To be honest I don't know how this is going to be able to put right!!!!!!!!!. Brian...

Hi brizo
Just looked at my barrel ..it looks fairly strength.
. And as for putting it right ..don't know an answer yet ..
maybe e some very hot water and some gentle persuasion .?

Just had to put a straight edge against mine, it was one of the first in the country and if there were going to be any general faults I would have thought they would have been withthe first ones. Mine is straight in all planes.
I'm a bit hamfisted so I wouldn't be able to 'apply a little light pressure'. I'm more of a big hammer and nails type of modeller... and if that doesn't work I've obviously not used a big enough hammer!

Had mine since Christmas, barrel is fine and fires BB's ok except the airsoft doesn't seem to have enough grunt for such a long barrel....

One I've finished is fine so thought I'd check the other one which is also fine, I don't know if they have an aluminium sleeve inside, if not then close to boiling water may work

Hi All,
Well chaps it seams as if mine is a one off or so it seams!!.I will have a go at it tomorrow I will leave the BB tube inside that will stop the barrel snapping. It definitely is warped downwards. The more I look at it the worse it gets....LoL. So come on you after market fellows let's see a metal one. Brian...

Same with mine. I think the barrel length robs the BBs of their power an aftermarket barrel and more powerful airsoft unit would be great but I doubt that we'll ever see them as the potential for someone to put the more powerful unit in other tanks and then do themselve or other injury is too great.
