TreehuggerThe build guide is weird in places. One has to look very carefully to notice that this part is supposed to be glued on, on the inside of two larger parts:
I made the mistake of simply gluing two big parts together. One has to be careful, when fixing this, to avoid have the part being lost inside the big part (so hold the big part upside down while gluing on the smaller part).

Best be careful when gluing things together, because the moulds are weird. Not just flash here and there, but misalinged moulding in places. Not entirely terrible, but an unexected annoyance in some places like the breech block.
Btw, the aftermarket metal barrels fits the plastic nicely. No idea if some counter weight is ideally needed or not, haven't gotten that far yet.
Tip, for adding styrene bolts, without fiddling to much, best just glue on a piece of rod (then let the plastic harden), then snip it, and very gently sand flat so it looks like a bolt. Having said that, there are aftermarket bolt with hex shape in resin that would be nice, if you can get the precise size needed, not too small, nor, too large.
