Barnard Precision -Still in business?

Sirs, I need an extractor for a Barnard S in .223 Rem. Whidden was gracious enough to sell me the action but does not have the extractor.
Is there a phone number or even a mailing address that might work?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
 
No freedom of speech in New Zealand?
no... mrs cindy (thank God she's gone now) or the new leftist in power there does not allow you to say what you think, typical of this political spectrum... or even the govt may take you by a secret bus somewhere, just God know where like they did when they found someone with crona in the beginning of the pandemc, to a camp in the middle of nowhere). ahhh.. their motto: "be kind". what a joke!

Thankyou. That phone number does work and is answered by a machine. No return call or email yet.

Is there a dealer in the UK or Canada that might sell me an extractor kit for the "S" Action with a .223 bolt face?
I went through a similar situation with a Barnard PL. I wanted some spare parts and Whidden didn't have them and didn't know when they would. I searched every dealer to no avail. I finally found a source in NZ that had contacted Barnard and got me the parts. It took a couple of months, cost more to ship them than they cost, but I'm set for life.. Barnard is still in business as of a couple of months ago. Covid was VERY devastating for businesses over there. The Dad got VERY sick, not sure if he recovered. Everything got thrown in his son's lap. That combined with the website service that took their money and shut down. I'd say contact them directly first. Then, start emailing gunsmiths in NZ to see what they have. Small parts are not as restrictive for export as some would have you believe. I checked with the appropriate departments first. It was an ordeal for sure. Good luck, be persistent and patient.
 
As of July 3rd the information from our kiwi friends is, "the shop is locked up and a notice is on the door" we are all hoping they re-open. Apparently a few family issues but nothing I can print is the rumour.
