Any one have a extra used 5 1/2" .38 spl. barrel  for a Uberti open-top they will sell?

Doesn't seem to be many folks ready to part with theirs, so I would suggest trying VTI.  They've gone up in price the last few years, but then who hasn't?

I have had a standing order with VTI for 2 45 barrels in 5 1/2" for over a year. I call every few months, and check in, but they say they dont have them yet.
Good luck.

Well I talked to the folks at VTI Gun Parts and the news ain't good for us open toppers. Uberti shipped their order today...but 0 open top parts in this shipment....Expecting another shippment before Uberti's August shut dowm.....if none in that shipment, maybe September!!

Well, at least you didnt say that the last 2 they had were getting shipped to you! I guess if they get here they get here.

It is NOT in Ubertis best interest to sell barrels, as they dont make as much money as when they sell a whole gun. I can understand some feet dragging on their part.

Maybe I can talk my wife into a set of RM Conversions, and she will let me have her OTs?
