  PPSh-41: Barrel assembly


I finally found a tube the right size for the barrel. Surprisingly, the barrel for this gun is only 10.5 inches! Once I had the right tube, I could finally drill a hole through the breach block



The dummy bullet that I made fits snugly in the breach.



and the barrel fits beautifully within the shroud. It is not glued, but held in place by a screw post.

That's a lovely piece of work, I'm very impressed. First thought was how I'd go about casting it, second was how you would get it through the postal system to me.

No truly amazing..

These are all the dumb things I find myself obsessed with building when I SHOULD be doing something more productive.

As a kid I built lots of plastic model kits, never knowing that one day those skills would actually be of use.
