Thanks!

I'm glad to see manufacturers providing pre-turned PE like this. Trying to "roll" a gun sleeve from flat PE brass requires an expensive extra tool. I'd rathr pay a few $$$ more and have it perfectly-done with no need for annealing (with sometimes so distorts the brass it doesn't take the right shape).

Just came across this review on the front page and it's just what I've been looking for!

First, let me say....Excellent review Andy!!

Now, a question....Not knowing much about these .50cal MG, can this set be use on the Dragon Quad Gun Trailer M55 (#6421)? I've recently purchased this kit and was looking for aftermarket barrels but all I could find were individual barrels from companies like Lion Roar, Adlers Nest, etc., and at $10 - $17 a single barrel they can get steep if needing four of them (as I'd have to for this kit). This set may be just what I needed and from the pics in Andy's review they look similar to the ones by LR and AN so I was wondering.

Any info on this will be a appreciated!

Hi Rob,
thanks for the comments!

to answer your question, yes yes yes....these barrels are basically from Griffon Models M16 MGMC detail set, so they are designed for a quad mount. The Dragon M55 is nothing more than the quad mount in the M16 with parts for the trailer.

Getting 4 at a time is a better deal than one at a time, especially if you shop around a bit.

Also, something I didnt mention...the mounting rods for these barrels are longer than other sets out there, so they make things a bit more sturdy in the end.

Enjoy
Andy

Excellent!! Thanks much for the feedback, Randy!

Will purchase this as soon as they're in stock at Lucky Model (a bit cheaper than other places)
