Ideally: You need to measure the tenon in 2 diameters in both areas that do not have cork covering them, and also the diameter of the cork area itself. Calipers are helpful. OR measure the internal diameter of the socket of a barrel that fits.....take it in 2 directions owing to the naturally occuring ovoid shape that develops. See the attached jpg. for type of caliper.

Alternatively: supply the maker of the barrel with a spare barrel that fits nicely, to be returned with the new barrel

Another alternative: See if a standard stock barrel of a Buffet model fits your horn. If so, the maker usually has the nominal measurements for it.

Common measure of Buffet RC model is
BOTTOM SOCKET in inches is:
.64 DEEP
.815 WIDE
