Turned brass barrel with a 3D-printed resin muzzle brake. Beautifully printed and milled parts, they are provided separate, but I attached them for these scans. While this piece is an excellent choice for us to use on our Firefly kits, we are still lacking a replacement 17pdr barrel for our M10 Achilles kits, which were shorter (or rather, more of the barrel was hidden within the gun mount), and has that unique counterweight, which is very difficult to scratchbuild. I hope that MicroWorld will eventually market that barrel as well.
