88

That 88 is bothering me - I know this shouldn't be so difficult but I can't get a handle on it's scale. People have said "closer to 1:16" but some of my (oddball) calculations imply that it is indeed too small for 1:18. The only spec we have is that the barrel is 11.5 inches. I thought the 41 88 had a barrel length of over 21 feet, making a 1:18 version over a foot long (ie more than 11.5). Maybe it is recoiled? Or my specs are wrong? HELP!! PLEASE HELP :o
