Ed's Contenders. His link is at the top of this forum. Good prices, fast shipping times,great guy to do business with. Some say he can be a little hard to get in touch with sometimes but the few times I've tried I had no problem.

It sometimes takes Ed 5 days to a week to get in touch with via e-mail, but he always answers.  His prices seem to be the best.  If you watch ebay for 2 or 3 months, sometimes you can beat the price, but have to worry about the quality!!!

I always call Ed at his daytime phone number during his daytime hours and have never failed to get hold of him by the second try that day.  Do not have very good luck using his night number.

The only phone I've seen Ed use is his cell phone.  He has an office but I have always dealt with him in his shop.  Try using this #405-879-0879, its the one I use & have always connected.  If he has the barrel in stock shipping should be quick as the Post Office is right next door.

Good shooting
