[Chapter] Aftermarket barrel afterall

Date:

Aftermarket barrel afterall

So after an abortive attempt at using the kit's barrel, I opted for the new release Lion Roar metal barrel.
Picture 1. shows the three components that make up the Hornisse gun barrel.
2.The breech block is prepared for the insertion of the large pin on the end of the metal barrel.
3. & 4. is the simple proccess involved. The long locating pin designed by Lion Roar technicians makes the alighnment of the breech and the first part of the 88mm a cinch.
5.& 6. shos the docking of the second half of the barrel, again the long pin makes the process easy. I used two part expoxy to make the bond keeping the excess to a minimum- which was cleaned up with a 3M pad and small file after it has kicked.
7. & 10. shows the white metal muzzle break-not my favorite material. I find that the balance and symmetry of the two sides of muzzles made this way are irregular. While not perfect I can live with it. I replaced the muzzle's pin with one made of stronger metal. What I did was remove the white metal pin and then drill a hole where it was wherein I place a thick piece of metal wire and again using industrial grade two part expoxy glued it all together.
Picture 8. shows the insertion of the muzzle brake into the end of the second half of the barrel.
9.This is a picture of the cast resin muzzle brake wrap used when in transportation mode. I threw it in the spares box. 11. & 12. show the two barrels side by side.
