    Proof prefits are common and popular in the US.
    They seem to prefer proof carbon to the Hardy Carbon barrels there.

    The steel barrels are a pretty good price (in USD) but not sure how you'd get on importing one.
    Its a shame we can't get well priced prefits here, there's atleast half a dozen places in the US that does prefit barrels in the US.
    Certainly nice being able to play around with calibers for just the price of a new barrel.

    That's what I was hoping to achieve (cheap swap barrel/cal option) but sounds like it's a no go for now here....
