Only a few people included myself are "complaining" as you put it. The
thread topic is "Worst after market accessory", naturally people will
list the items which they don't like, which at least to some is
interesting. I don't like *most* turned barrels because I can get just
as good a looking model by carefully constructing the kit barrel. It
also saves me some money. You'll note also that a few people state that
some barrels are wrong.

On a related note, I am getting sick and tired of people calling other
modellers "complainers" for reviewing a kit. I'd call it insecurity on
the part of the person calling us "complainers".

Paul.
