So... my Hull MG didn't arrive with my M4/105. Weirdly, the port seems to be wired for light. Does anybody know of a source for -just- a metal (or plastic ) barrel I can snap into the hull MG?

I would first check Toucan Hobby: https://www.toucanhobby.com/collections ... ccessories

The little led is for the mg flash.

Aber and Schumo do barrels.

Or get a Tamiya .30 cal barrel.

I agree with Ad Lav that either the Aber or Schumo barrrels would be even better, albeit at a bit more cost. Offhand, I cannot think of a North American retailer for these, except, perhaps via evilBay.

Good Afternoon,
Go with one of the aforementioned metal barrels and use a short length of fiber optic line to bring the light up the barrel from the LED. Always a crowd pleaser!
regards,
Painless

I know what it's for, fortunately. Unfortunately, the key part didn't arrive.

Sadly, neither Aber nor Schumo do machine gun barrels for Shermans. They only do full kits for installation.

I've got stock barrels for the M4A3, send me a PM if you want one. I am assuming you do have the MG ball!?! The stock ones aren't that detailed but are fiber optic and painted.

See your build thread, I posted this link to Matomart that has what you might. need.

Thank you, suh. I'll have a look.

I do have the ball mount. Very weird. I'd be grateful. Wife suggests I comb through the packaging material once more just to see if it may have slipped out into the box, but I find that unlikely. If it is indeed still missing, I'll send you a PM. Thank you!
