Try Allegheny Arsenal they seem to be only one's at the moment that I can see. Most of the other sites that I was looking at sourcing a kit from last year have gone out of stock. The good news is that, from everything I've heard, their kits are great, are pretty easy rewelds, and come with the rear receiver pieces unlike most of the other parts kits, hence they charge a bit more over a standard parts kit without the rear.

Your only other option right now is gunbroker which you would have to be patient with and watch since there are some over inflated prices out there.

Shooter, have you seen the SELLING prices of 34 and 42 stuff lately? Assuming it continues this stuff isn’t inflated it’s an incredible investment!! Barrels I paid $100 for three years ago are topping $400!! Too bad I sold them at $300!! Duh. The only thing I can see that’s down is mg34 cut receivers. ..buy now.

The night that Bush banned barrel importation, I got online to Numrich Gun Parts and ordered 8mm barrels at $35 each, and .308 barrels for $25 each. Now THOSE were the days.
