Are the barrels cylinders or faceted?

Rubber Cylinders. We have made 2 batches. My husband loved this Christmas gift and he is teaching our Granddaughter all about shining the rocks.

They are rubber cylinders. We are on our first batch, so I cannot tell how well it is working, but it's been operating for almost a week now.

Hi Kathy. There are small markings on the top of the barrel. That's it for the barrel I received.

Yes, fill with water for a couple of days first to let the barrel "swell" first. Very nice barrel.

Could be several things. Let's start with the simplest, have you cleaned the barrel recently?

I do not know. I am using the barrels on the model AR-2 and they match the 2 that came with that. Working well with 4 tumblers now, one for each of the steps.

Thought this would be easy to answer however, after looking at packaging and the iron itself, I will type what it says: five layers - outside barrel -chromium, then nickel, then copper, then nickel then steel. It does have a brushed chrome look - but barrel is smooth. hope this helps.

No just standard. The markings are spiraled around the center barrel so the numbers and lines will both fit. It makes it really easy to read, but unfortunately it's all standard.

I'm not totally sure, but the lid has perforated (circular) holes with a screen so that the water dumps onto the lid and then flows into the barrel. I didn't realize it came that way and had to modify the top to fit my needs. I converted it to a slow rate sand filter for a fish pond. It is a good barrel and can probably easily be modified to suit your needs.

The handles are inset in the barrel itself and work very well. I have turned it easily each week as directed and even extreme cold doesn't hinder the movement.

No. This is a smooth bore barrel. It's a great barrel though. I love it on my 98 custom.

No the barrel is plastic but it is hard enought. the tracks are metal. anyway it is a good buy if you like rc models. after more than one year everything is working fine.... regards

It is a tapered barrel which means medium-sized at the top while small at the bottom. It's a great product, but make sure you wear the glove which is included.

I was not aware that there were different sizes, so I am going to say yes? The barrel is about the size of a standard curling iron if that helps.

The plastic spigots that came with the 2 barrels I bought were junk. One broke fairly quickly. I replaced both with brass spigots that were threaded. Because it was about 3 years ago, I don't remember if the plastic ones were threaded, sorry.

Believe they are bore specific Sir. They are very snug to the specific barrel

The lid was sold as a separate item in the same category on Amazon when we got ours. We didn't need a lid but they were on sale. Cost about half what the barrel did.

Just make sure the barrel is "mostly" empty. Otherwise water could freese and expand and crack your barrel. I reroute the water to a corrugated plasitic pipe underground that daylights away from the foundation.
