The shortage of barrel blanks is killing us

I have 4 Ruger #1 rifles to build into our Mega Beast, 2 in 500 Nitro, one in 458 Magnum and one in 45-70 and the barrel blanks for these guns are non-existent. We have 4 barrel blank dealers we deal with and have ordered these barrel blanks well over a year ago and nobody has either of these barrels.
All in all we have 12 barrel blanks ordered and they have been on order for well over a year. So if your custom gun is running a bit over what we quoted, we will get it finished ASAP.
I talked to a friend that ordered a Ford F-150 and it has been sitting in the dealer's showroom for several months waiting on the little ignition switch. The one on his truck was faulty and they ordered him a new one many moons ago.
