... a ZSU-23-4 barrel. 
If you don't know what that is, just google it. It's a 23mm.
I've had some strange requests in the time since I started my own shop, but this takes the cake. I wouldn't even know where to get a parkerizing tank long enough to refinish something like that, without having it custom fabricated (which I could have done, but at a high cost).
I guess I could offer to DuraCoat it.
The guy said he restores military vehicles. I didn't know we had Russian AAA vehicles around here.
ETA: He has 5 of them. Now I'm thinking about trying to do it, just for the pictures for my brochure. I'm interested in whether these are display only or are really parts from NFA items. I always thought barrels on big stuff like that were painted like the rest of the vehicle.
