Hello, General question of interest that has always bothered me. Is there anyway to add rifling to plastic barrels that come with the kit? I've seen some builds on this forum where people had PE rifling sheets from their spare PE box that came with another kit. Is there any manufacturers that sells rifling sheets separately like this?  Or maybe there's another technique floating out there  Thanks!  |

Armor Research does/did a generic rifling PE set.
I'm sure there are others. |

I know that On the Mark used to make a few sets for American and Axis barrels. You may want to contact him @ 303 665-9424 |

I have used the OTMM rifling set and it looked convincing. Getting the circumfrence right could be challenging at times. I ended up cutting the PE in half lengthwise to double up the amount that I could use.

I've used On The Mark rifling as well. Mark actually gave me a few sheets when I met him in Oklahoma City back in '03. The trick is to use paper first - insert it into the barrel and get the correct circumference, then transfer measurement to the PE.
I do not have an axis set, but did find that the US and Soviet versions were, well - on the mark. |
