Gun-Barrel needed for M-48 Patton
I need a gun-barrel for my M-48 Patton tank. ....Mine is warped beyond reproach. I can't get a replacement from 21st.Century. They said they don't stock these anymore. .....Does somebody have a beat-up broken Patton with the (gun-barrel) still intact ? ... or just happen to have an X-tra one handy ? ..... Short of having to buy another tank,...I'd rather try to save the only one I got. ....The rest of my tank is perfect ! .....Can someone help me out here, please ? ....... Thanks alot ! ^ MG

Unfortunately your only choice might me to have the barrel custom fabbed. I believe some of the outfits that make aftermarket aluminum barrels for 1/35 scale kits can also do custom work upon request, and it may not be as expensive as you might imagine, I suppose it depends on how badly you want to rehab your tank. BTW, I just gotta ask....how did you manage to warp your current barrel???

Ouch!! Well, at least you did say that you have the option of sending it back if you want to, but where did you find one for sale?? I have been looking for an M48 without much luck and people tell me they are pretty scarce. Any info is appreciated.I did'nt warp it. ...Apparently it was sent to me in this condition.
