Russian 76.2mm L-11
barrel for T-34-76 Mod.1940
#35 L-23
Review by Terry Ashley

The barrel is a single piece with nice contours including the small muzzle lip and rifling on the inside barrel.

Compared to plans in Model Constructor magazine the length is correct and the obvious candidate for the barrel is the new Dragon T-34-76 Mod 1940 kit and the barrel is the same length as the Dragon kit barrel so long as you don't insert it into the mantlet as the kit barrel is designed to do.

Unassembled parts


Barrel compared to Dragon kit barrel, note that the kit barrel is designed to have
the first 1.5mm inserted into mantlet and so long as you fit the Aber barrel flush
with the mantlet face the length is correct.

A nicely machined barrel that will add detail definition to the kit.

Thanks to Michael from Airconnection for the sample barrel.
