I have gone obver the entire internet looking for a 1/48. It is for a king tiger"production turret". It is Tamiya item number 32536-1800. The barrel is type 43 88MM L71.I have been on the web for two (2) days. Anyone that has one listed is out of stock. Any one knows how I can get one. Let me thank anyone in advance who responses[:(] to my request

I have a few of their 1/35 barrels. Inexpensive and quite good IMHO.
They don’t include instructions, but it’s not that hard to figure out.
Track48 is the place to go for 1/48 scale armor accessories. As the name states, the specialize in 1/48 scale armor: http://www.track48.com/shop/home.php they list one.
They also have a forum too.

[:D[Thanks everyone for your quick response. I do have one question. Is the 43 88MM l71 used on the king tiger production turret the same barrel used on a Jagdpanther? I think the answer is yes but I just want to be sure. Once again thanks for all you help.

remember it’s ok to talk to yourself it’s ok to answer yourself…just don’t lose the argument Chrysler_jerry
Note that the RB Model barrel pictured in the post above (part no. 48B40) is intended for the “Porsche Turret” KT.
There are two other barrels in the range,
48B13 - Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger B Jagdpanther 88mm KwK 43/3 L/71 early type muzzle brake
48B14 - Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger B Jagdpanther 88mm KwK 43/3 L/71 late type muzzle brake
Both of these barrels are “stepped” whereas 48B40 has a continuous taper.
I guess this answers your question above too, given that the same barrel may be used for both vehicles
