LT, sorry but I think you may be thinking about this barrel for the Challenger 2,
Here. As far as I know there is no A.M. barrel made for the Merkava of the type you describe. Accurate Armour makes a resin replacement barrel for the 105mm used on the Merk 1 & 2's available here:
http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?manufacturer=0&category=11&subcategory=186&product=1126

Again, as far as I know, the only replacement barrel for the later 120mm are those that are included with several of the conversion sets from Legend Productions, and sadly they don't sell them separately.

Regards,
Mike
