003-2147 - MK Products 6-Inch 60-Degree Gooseneck for Python/Prince XL

Genuine MK Products Replacement Barrel

The MK Products 003-2147 is a premium replacement barrel assembly designed specifically for the Python and Prince XL series of push-pull MIG guns. As a critical component of the welding torch's front end, this barrel ensures the seamless transfer of welding current and shielding gas to the contact tip while guiding the welding wire with precision. Manufactured to MK Products' exacting standards, this assembly is essential for maintaining the high-performance characteristics of your push-pull system, particularly when feeding soft aluminum wires that are prone to bird-nesting or shaving if the liner path is not perfectly aligned.

This specific model features a 6-inch length, which is the standard configuration for general-purpose fabrication, offering a balanced combination of reach and control. The 60-degree bend angle is engineered to provide comfortable access to joints in various positions, including fillets and groove welds, without forcing the operator into awkward hand positions. The barrel is constructed from high-grade materials that withstand the thermal cycling of industrial welding environments. Uniquely, this assembly is rated for use with both air-cooled and water-cooled configurations of the Python and Prince XL guns, making it a versatile spare part for shops running mixed equipment.

Proper maintenance of the barrel assembly is vital for arc stability. Over time, spatter buildup, thread wear, or accidental impact can compromise the gas flow or electrical connection. Installing a genuine MK 003-2147 ensures that your gas diffuser and contact tip seat correctly, preventing gas leaks that lead to porosity and ensuring consistent voltage at the arc. Whether you are repairing a damaged gun or configuring a torch for a specific application, this barrel assembly delivers the reliability professional fabricators demand.
