Expert bits sizing

[Shell33]

Hi everyone.

Just received a comfy barrel from expert bit and it’s massive!
I have emailed them for advice so I can exchange it but just wondered if anyone else found that they come up a little bigger than other bits?

Thanks

Nope no issue with sizing for me. I’ve got two of their bits

Mine was the size I was expecting. I think I read that they are supposed to show a little bit at the side of the mouth tho, if that is making it look bigger than it should be?

Thanks for your replies.
I actually went a size bigger from the advice of his old owner so that could be why, just didn’t expect it to be so much bigger.
I’ve sent it back for an exchange today so hopefully will all be ok with the next one.

I have a comfort mouth barrel Pelham it fits nicely, I ordered my usual size, they do curve around the mouth so maybe that's the reason xx

Have you measured it to be sure you received what you ordered.
