I was told they are, however, they will not sell them in the white, and it would be necessary to order them through Remington (!).

Thanks for that, Joe. You beat me to it. I'll probably call later anyway so they know of the demand for that product. Sometimes you wish you weren't right - like when you think your team is going to lose the big game and they do. To be clear, the 00 frame 28 barrels they plan on making later on are for Repros, not Originals? Does anyone know of prior success fitting Repro barrels to originals? At least there is a glimmer of hope in the future.
Corporate business models are so screwy sometimes: "Yes, we are in business to make and sell products. Yes, we make exactly what you need to solve your problem. Uh...no you can't buy them." But I realize there are factors we aren't privy to. Fortunately, there's no hurry in this case, so if the solution is on the horizon that's still good.
