possible intonation issues?

i picked up a Yamaha ycl250 plastic Horn @ a local Pawn Shop
It was well cared for but needed a little work.
With that done and my VanDoren M13 Mp this Clarinet sounds excellent with very good volume.
it came with a 65mm Barrel.
My local Community band seems to pitch at 440 which means all of my other Horns with 66mm Barrels are in tune ( at least on our Tuning note, which could be C or G).
I know I have only to pull out the 65mm barrel a little to be in tune .
That said though when I pull out can I expect any intonation problems with this YCL 250 when the Barrel is then pulled out?
I've got both a Backun Cocobolo Barrel as well as a Scott delrin barrel .
I could use either to play in the with the band, but I really feel the 65mm barrel that came with the Clarinet seems to sound the best
