Arnie,

Not really an option - importing is difficult, time-consuming and expensive, even if the manufacturer would be willing to export.
I do read lots of contrary opinions on the poly barrels, maybe I'd better give the manufacturer a call and see what he says

Martini Belgium,
Will be interested in continuing to read of your "exploits" with the 30-20.  I, for one would stay with conventional rifling, especially considering the choices you have in the EC.

Such small ctges intrigue me. a friend is shooting a 32-20 to good effect in Schuetzen matches.   
For now, I play with my Martini Cadet , cal 357Mag, 13 twist
and my Martini 12/15 does good service for me in long range 22lr matches.

Oh, Is there any chance a Metford or Henry form 30(or 32) cal rifled barrel might be available over there? Possibly from the UK?
If available, those might be more interesting than the polygonal, even tho it has its "roots" in the Whitworth form.

Metford rifling?  I have heard Arthur Smith in the UK once in a while still makes a barrel, but has a waiting list of several years - and I don't believe he makes the smaller calibres.  Neither does Ueli Eichelberger, so that leaves the 'normal' barrel producers, of which Lothar Walther would be aa pretty good one.  Hnery rifling?  Having lots of exoerience with it, it is a bear to clean...
