The Leopard Club has announced an aluminium barrel for the L7 105mm gun. It was used on early production Leopard 1
It comes with resin fume extractor, lock ring and counterweight.

As this British gun or a licensed version was widespread used, it is suitable also for most of the tanks armed with it, which were quite a few:

Israeli Tiran 5
Centurion
Olifant
M1 Abrams
Japanese Type 74

German Leopard 1
Swiss Panzer 58, 61 and 68
Some upgraded M47s
Some upgraded M48s
Korean K1
OF-40
Argentinian TAM
Stingray
Vickers MBT Vijayanta

The barrel fits Leopard 1 models from Italeri, Takom, Meng and Revell

I should make one disclaimer to the list above. Some of the tanks above may have been sleeved, or had the American M68 version, but if you are looking for a naked L7, this may be the answer.

And to make what Michael wrote even more clear: the M68 gun was visually different, so this product is not suitable for M68 equipped tanks. Also some of those tanks listed had thermal sleave on the gun changing the appearance even more.

The M68 on the M60A1's and early Abrams had a differnet bore evacuator visually.
