I am building a crude mock-up of a DShK 12.7 mm (.50 cal) machine gun. I can find information on the length of the barrel, etc but I am wondering if anyone can tell me what diameter of dowel I’d want to use for the barrel.
It doesn’t have to be ridiculously accurate, but I’d like to make it at least semi-accurate.
