Don't be sorry...that's some good info!

I looked into the NEF/H&R stuff a bit more last night and this morning and unfortunately they no longer sell barrels unless they're factory fitted...which requires you to send in pretty much everything but your existing barrels. Because of import/export nastiness, they only offer the service to US residents. They also don't sell very many 'packages' having customers rely on the barrel exchange service to get the package they like. That means the only way I'll get a complete set (unless I take a trip to the US) is if I find one used and already packaged. Possible but might take some work.

I've yet to hit all the gun shops so you never know what I might find...consignment is a pretty big chunk of the market. The last one I went to was 'take a number. Now serving #94' and I was immediately turned off...didn't bother waiting. Once I'm through with the shops, the ranges and clubs will be my next destination.
