Have you tried Bellums or Haus of arms? There were barrels for sale on both sites last week.

I've got an old frame that needs either a new barrel for our state's new "straight wall" season or sold. Its been collecting dust in the gun safe for years. has anyone seen new barrels in stock yet?

Haus of arms has barrels. If you want a specific barrel, why not have mgm or ssk make a custom barrel? I have some from both and they shoot well.

Waiting on a 350 Legend barrel to pop up. However, I am unwilling to pay the same price for a barrel as I can on a new rifle since our F&G has already said that as soon as they can they are changing the rules on this so it a barrel I will only use for 2 seasons.
I have also given thought to making a Hobbit rifle out of it but am undecided on what chambering to have it done in. The outcome of the NFA items in the Big Beautiful Bill might change my mind on this one.
I am basically trying to talk myself into inventing a use case for this gun because I want to like and use it but it hasn't happened yet...
It's a G2 chambered with the Super 14" barrel in 35 Remington.

If you reload, why not 360 BH or 357 max? Both would use the same bullets as your 35 rem. I think the 360 is a better choice in the T/C platform as it is rimmed. Also readily available.

The cost of a custom barrel mostly. I reload so ammo isn't a limiting factor which wouldn't matter with the 360 BH round) but that bring me back to the original question: Why spent new rifle money on a custom barrel that I can only legally use for 2 seasons?
Starting to seem like a Catch-22

That's too much logic, just buy 360 BH barrel
