The old Hastings Co in Clay City, Kansas has closed. Verney-Carron, the manufacturer of the barrels sold under the brand name "Hastings" has purchased the Hastings name and trademark "Paradox". These barrels are the same quality product that made Hastings the premier replacement shotgun barrel. The Hastings® Paradox® is the premier off-the-shelf rifled shotgun replacement barrel available for popular makes of shotguns. And, it's the most accurate shotgun barrel we've ever tested. With six lands and grooves and a 1-in-34" twist, this unique rifled barrel produces increased slug stability and amazing accuracy.
