Length of Pzkpfw V Panther barrel

[herring]

Hello All,

I was looking for detailed info about exact length of Pzkpfw V Panther barrel, and I didn't find any 100% sure answer. I mean ONLY BARREL ITSELF, without breechblock and muzzle brake, but adding these pieces, or ends of barrel which are hidden inside breechblock and muzzle brake.
Does anyone know, where to look for it, or does anyone know what the length is?
I'm looking also for detailed drawings of muzzle brake - I need to make 1:1 copy.

best regards
Maciej

Caliber x bore diameter equals length

70x75 equals 5250mm, which is 206.693 inches, 17.2244 feet, or in metric, 5.25 meters

I checked google to see if I was right, Dead On!

I will just let you guys do conversion

King Tiger L/71, 88mm=6248mm BL

L/48 75mm as on Mark 4=3600mm BL

L/24 75mm as on Mark 4 (earlier versions)=1800mm BL

Mark VI Tiger 1 88mm L/56=4928mm BL

Jadgtiger 128mm L/55=7040mm BL

Mark III 50mm, L/60=3000mm BL

Mark III 50mm L/42=2100mm BL

http://www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm is a good site to convert to meters or standard units

Interesting that the 75mm L/24 was almost 6 feet when the L/48 was short of 12 feet.
