Has anyone purchased metal turned barrels from CnC? I'm looking to upgrade the warped resin barrels supplied by Combrig for the 700 scale HMS Dreadnought. If so, what is the quality of these barrels?

I plan on starting the Dreadnought in a couple of weeks and need to make up my mind soon. Cost on the website is $3.25/barrel plus $10 for shipping,.... that amounts to about $45.......

Thanks Mike,.... are these the 45 caliber ones?... if so, thats a savings of about $15.

EDIT: I wish they had photos of their product, would make the comparison/choice a bit easier.

Not sure about the caliber but all they,ve done are WW-I barrels. How many 12" gun types did the RN have in those days?h You could always ask NNT

Here's some photos from Steel Navy-unfortunately none of the 12"
