No, the barrel is the same exact lenght. The portion between the receiver and gas piston is rouglty 30% larger in diameter... that is 150g extra weight, and a whole new set of tools to forge. That is the reason why H&K decided not to produce the "MG36" as a stand alone model. It was not cost-effective for the improvement that the heavier barrel gave.
