I think Frontier Gander hit it right on the head. An average quality after market barrel will cost you $150.00 - $350.00, then you can get into the swamped barrels and even add more cost to them. If you have a rifle that costs $89.95 like my CVA Staghorn Magnum, it would seem foolish to purchase say a $200.00 barrel to put on that stock and hardware.

One very good point yeoman brought up though is.. Why doesn't BPI purchase Spanish barrels with twists which would interest other current CVA owners. I personally would really like a 1-70 twist barrel to fit my CVA Staghorn Magnum. That would be cool to get a roundball barrel for an inline rifle. Or even different calibers for inlines so you could make a small game rifle out of an inline rifle. Some .32 or .36 calibers would be an interest to me. The trouble is to keep costs down, what would a company have to do?
