They've been discontinued for 3 years, the Sidekick was last offered in 2007, Huntsman accessory barrels may be available again someday.

I wouldn't wait on H&R to make new barrels.  Find a used gun or barrel and put one together.  Worth the effort, I just pieced one together from parts off of GBO and have a very nice shooting Huntsman.  Besides, if you go this route and New barrels or complete guns start being produced I doubt you'll have any trouble selling the old one.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
