I ordered and recieved 2 barrels for my current projects, including a dragon T34/76 mod 41. I ordered a RB models F34 barrel and the barrel I received is definitely packaged as an F34 barrel (#35B18), but it really doesn't seem long enough. I think it may be an L11?? The barrel total length is about 1 7/16" (36.5mm) but the barrel that comes with the kit ( I presume an F34) is 2 1/4" (57.15mm). Even acounting for how far the barrels stick into the mantlet there is a huge length descrepancy... or am I crazy. I just want to have my facts straight before I contact the dealer to make a return/exchange for a correct barrel.

Bueller....Bueller...

I haven't seen it, but I can say the barrel you have is not an F-34, but an F-32 or L-11. The F-34 gun is an L/42.5 length gun and the F-32 is an L/31.5 length gun, that's about 23.9 mm difference in 1/35, The L-11 is L/30.5 length, so the difference between the F-34 and L-11 in 1/35 is about 26.1 mm. In other words: You've received the wrong barrel, an L-11/F-32 labeled as F-34. Best regards.

*EDIT* Now I've seen the barrel:



It looks way too short if you compare it to this other barrel:

Thanks for confirming that I am not crazy, I am contacting the seller to get this ironed out, hopefully it is now a product wide blunder by RB, though I have my suspicions that it is.
