Noveske: Right. Now, that Extreme-Duty Barrel, we put on hold because it costs too much to make, and I just don’t feel like putting it out there. It’s just too expensive. That was 17-4 stainless with a Rockwell hardness of 38. It’s extremely expensive to make, but we made a bunch, sold ‘em all, every body loves ‘em, and I haven’t made any more because it justs eats up too much tooling. Well, imagine if you had a 40% success rate on something that you made, and all that labor, material that goes into it, and all the tooling, and yes, you might make money, but you have to charge $1,000 for a barrel to make the same money that you make on a $400 barrel. It just didn’t make sense. So, you can buy the regular stainless barrel twice and still be under the price of a 17-4 barrel. So we basically stopped makin’ ‘em. Yes, they’re excellent barrels. I have two, myself, personally, but from a realistic product standpoint, it was too much of a Ferarri for me. We spent thousands and thousands of dollars workin’ on different approaches, different cuts on the tooling, and last week, even, I just told the guys to stop production on ‘em for now, untill I readress it, which I’m a little too busy to focus on…
