L85A2 Sectioned Barrel

Slightly off topic for me but i thought some might like to see this sectioned L85A2 Barrel ive been working on in my spare time as a T.A. Armourer. I had to change a barrel that had a bulge in it due to a daft bugger trying to shoot it after sticking the muzzle in the mud. Rather than just throw the old barrel in the scrap box i decided to section it as a training aid to show the effects of trying to shoot through blockages. Unfortunately the only round i had spare was from a drill round and its to long. If anyone has a spare 5.56 bullet i can have give me a P.M.
Cheers, Paul.
P.S. This item resides in a locked armoury and is not part of my collection.

Oh, do you want fired or unfired? If you want fired i'll pop some into a water trap, and see how they come out.

Regards,

Charlie
