Several pictures of an A6 pushed the completetion of the L55 barrel. Since I used the original gun tip for the L44 barrel to include modifying it to reflect the older MRS, I had to make a new tip. Spent the better part of the afternoon wrapping thin plastic sheets around tubing to get the proper dimensions and scratch building the new MRS. Worked great and looks good!

Then, I decided to take it outside for a spin. Not used to the longer length, I had gone to an old hiding spot and tried some long proven manouvers. Only I forgot about the "longer" part of the barrel! Ooops! Tore the new MRS off the end and left a nice scrape down the gun barrel, not surprisingly down the longer portion. All is not lost as it snapped off where the glue joint was and went back on straight.

The longer barrel is a pain in the neck, but sure looks cool. Almost looks like it's getting ready for a jousting match.
