Government Profile Barrel
As the other reviewer had stated, this is not the Hanson 11.5 chf barrel. It is a government profile barrel. Seems BA had mislabeled these before sending them out. It also has a product code of 32487 that I could not find listed anywhere else. I'm processing it for a return.
