Sometimes you find one really cool piece and it sparks an entire project. Is that what happened with the cool muzzle brake?

I just saw a thing on youtube about a Sherman with a 122mm gun, so it's easy to see a KT handling the 128mm. You're basically putting a Jagdtiger gun in a king tiger, right? Cool concept, don't forget the 128 used separate powder and projectile, like a naval gun. At first I thought that meant the sound in my JT was wrong, but then i learned that the powder charge came in a brass case and it all made sense again. 8)

I'll be watching this one with interest. :clap: :wave:

That's really neat, did you turn the barrel yourself?

Some good 'what if' stuff going on here? Like the camo finish too. Makes me wonder what we'd do without our wheelie bin spray booths! Well, combined with a neighbour's fence.

Cheers. Been looking for a source of what-if muzzle breaks without having to spring for a lathe.
