The Japanese A5s have exact measurement barrels. I just checked the spare Jap barrel for my Belgium Light 12 and it is exactly 26" as advertised.
With the A5, there is 3/4 of an inch of the barrel inside the receiver of the 12.
My Light 20 that I call a 28" gun is really 27 1/2."

Of course those barrels are all exact metric lengths. So 27-1/2" at 2.54 cm/inch = 70 cm and so on. The chambers are the same. A 65 mm chamber at 25.4 mm/inch = 2-1/2" and a 70 mm chamber = 2-3/4".
You remember all those metric conversions from college physics, right?
