I have a choice of three aftermarket barrels for the Dragon 3535 M1A1 Aim
OrangeHobby 1/35 113 M256 120 mm L44 smoothbore cannon
RB Model 120mm M256 Barrel for M1A1 Abrams
or the Voyager VBS0164 120mm with browning

Which would be the better choice out of the three?

Mike,

Just from looking at them, I would say the Voyager barrel is better in that you also get a 0.50 cal M2 HB, which you could use for replacing the CDR's MG.

I do not have it for accuracy checking, though, and I understand the DML kit 120mm plastic barrel is actually quite accurate.

Thanks much Jeff,I will look real hard at Voyagers offering.As for the plastic barrel,mines a tad warped,and it kinda got worse after I tried to straighten it with the ol' hot water bath.
