I have tried calling H&R customer service 3 times now. After a 5 minute wait each time I gave up. I am not complaining, I think it is GREAT that there is that much interest, that I have a hard time getting through. Maybe you could save me some time and tell when the Ultragon barrel is expected to be available, both as a complete gun and as a barrel only. The other question I had for H&R is if I could get an Ultragon Light barrel with open sights and drilled and tapped. Seems if they are selling both anyway I should be able to get them to do it for a few extra coins. Thanks JamesIII
