Hi guys
Well I guess I might as well stop in here once or twice and see what I can do for the card modelers
I never really thought about coming here as i've seen barrels made for the card models before; now don't take this the wrong way but I did not think that the barrels I saw were too good; and compared to mine the price is very cheap; however that said; I've seen some very good card models; and they would be enhanced for sure with my barrels
Let me give you a brief on just how I make them
First off; the barrel is modeled in CAD; and full size; if there is a flare or some other muzzle treatment it will be faithfull duplicated; if there are the mounting rings as on the Fuso/Kirishima barrel (or Yamato etc) they will be there
Then I shrink the CAD to the req scale; this is to 8 decimal places in metric
I then write the gcode for the barrels based on those sizes; again to 8 decimal places
This will give the most accurate barrel avil; my CNC machines are set up to read these programs; and produce very accurate products; the brass is full hard yellow; it gives a very nice finish that will take paint well and not chip off like Aluminum
I drill each barrel to scale; and go at least 4-5 calibers deep; so the hole looks right
Look to my site for more details on just what I have already programmed; and please remember I'm always open to suggestions or ideas
If I have a barrel in my avail list; this means I have the barrel drawn in CAD; re-scaling is easy and I don't charge for programming or CAD drawing if there is a order for a set
All orders would have to be pre paid as I don't make them from just a request
I take Paypal (just use my email address)
I also take International Money orders
email me for the address; or look on my ordering page (just click the buttons in the main page)
