Assembly Recommendations
For a durable connection of the metal barrels with plastic parts or other metal model parts, it is recommended to use appropriate assembly techniques:
Cyanoacrylate Glue (CA): A fast-drying glue, commonly used in modeling, providing a strong and durable bond.
Soldering: When joining metal components together, soldering guarantees the highest strength and durability of the connection.
