Historical information

The British Ordnance QF 17-pounder (17pdr) anti-tank gun was one of the most effective Allied guns of World War II. Developed since the early 1940s, it was widely used on the Western Front (Normandy invasion, actions in the Netherlands, offensive in Germany) as well as in Africa. Many armoured vehicles were fitted with this gun, for example, the Sherman Firefly tank. The main user was the British Army and allied Commonwealth formations.

The Aber 35L-113 barrel is a precise replacement for plastic parts in anti-tank gun models, significantly increasing their realism and durability. Its meticulous craftsmanship ensures replication of even the smallest details, including the specific ball-shaped muzzle brake that distinguished late-war versions of the 17pdr gun.
