So what if they just started making consistently accurate barrels with clean rifling and even crowns? In .177 and .22 at least? Can we pass that info along to them?
If I could get barrels in .20 to convert one or both of my 1322's I would in a heartbeat.Ideal would be something in the 14-15 inch range.40$ ea would be no sweat. Brass would be ok, steel would be better. Anything under 50$ count on me for one for sure, 2 if the price is better.And thank you, thank you very much.

You might try looking for a Sterling barrel. Benjamin sold the Sterlings here in the US and I believe the story goes, when Crosman bought them, they liquidated the parts including .20 barrels.I found one on ebay and built a "2060" with Crosman parts

Crosman, among other companies, was one that said no. You'd have to talk to 19Sheridan57 and ask how many companies he contacted but every one of them said no for the reasons I mentioned above and why I said you'd have find something aftermarket or like you, find a new/old stock barrel like you did.The original poster, Mr Douglas, who's name in several forms was unmentionable on GTA, I believe is now deceased. Someone onanother forum mentioned having not seen him posting on the AAC in quite awhile so I started searching the names he used. After comingacross this complaint about his company on the BBB where he replied stating he'd been in and out of the hospital dealing with medicalissues: https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/fort-worth/profile/gunsmiths/rane-air-repairs-0825-1000175567/complaintsI went digging using his real name and found this obituary, which I believe is him, from February of 2020:https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/paul-self-obituary?pid=195367544
