The short answer is yes. However I'm not sure who makes it. I believe I saw a review on Terry Ashley's Site "Perth Military Modelling". You would have to go through the lists to find it.
Accurate Armour also do a barrel but it may only be available in one of their upgrade sets.

The company is Lionmarc. Unfortunately the barrel isn't very good, check out this link for a review:

I have heard they would be correcting the barrel but that was a few months back and I haven't heard any news about it. Accurate Armour does offer a replacement barrel that is included in a couple of their C2 update sets, it is a two piece resin offering that is nicely done. (I have a couple) If you contact them they are normally very good about selling them individually.

You can get ahold of Accurate Armour about getting one out of their kits.They will sell parts from their kits.How much,I don't know but they are really nice barrels.

They have been selling a corrected version for some time, if you order now you'll get the corrected version.

Cheers,
