Rattler, it should be a 50mm I don't have my reference with me, so I don't know the L/number, but if I have to guess, I would say a L/40 or something, let me check, and get back to you. There are tons of barrels out there for this baby.
Nice choice, Rattler, now you are doing more german!!! Congratulations.

I have the Rubio barrel for the Puma and it is very nice. If you really want to have a blast with your Puma get the Aber PE set(s) and a set of Tiger Model Designs SdKfz 234 tires as the kit ones are inaccurate.

The production finished on September, 1944, with a total of 101 vehicles built of the s.Pz.Sp.Wg (5 cm 39/1 L/60) Sd.Kfz 234 version. Incidentally, it was not known as 234/2 until March, 1944 and never officially called "Puma"...
