    Rossi will not sell you any extra barrels. Their customer service is about the worst in the industry.

    Rossi probably would have sold you the barrels, except that they went out of business about 5 years ago.

    You might try to contact M&M Gunsmithing in Alexandria, VA. They bought up all available Rossi parts, & provide (paid) repair service on Rossi firearms.

    I believe they are still in business, the matched pairs are still being made as well as alot of other single shot rifles...but they will not sell any barrels.

    Taurus bought out Rossi; they own the name, & make a line of guns under the Rossi name. But, they are Taurus guns. Taurus will not service any guns not made by them & imported by them under the Braztech name, nor do they sell any accessories for guns made by Rossi.

    The "Rossi website" is just a front, with nothing behind it other than links to Taurus.

    The guns still say ROSSI and they are still made by Rossi in Brazil and when you call Rossi on the phone, you don't get Taurus. I went back to their websight and could find no links to Taurus.
