This thread reminds me of something I saw, thought about, but never went back to verify. Apparently Rossi is offering accessory barrels for sale over the counter, no fitting required, at quite reasonable prices. Now, with the use of CNC machining centers that could be possible, but as Tim suggests, that usually costs a lot more. Besides, has CNC technology reached the Amazonian jungle yet ?
There are a heck of a lot of Rossi receivers out there that are old enough that they were machined manually, and are probably NOT universally interchangeable.
My Handi wish list is that H&R1871 gets 10 CNC machining centers and starts turning out jillions of barrels that fit everything, for any cartridge you order, all for the same price as now.
Well, Christmas is coming, can't I wish a little ?
