Has Aber discontinued older AM barrels?

Was looking on Hannants and ebay and couldn't find anyone doing Aber's aluminium barrel for the tiger 1 Early the only one listed was the latest one for Rye Field models Tiger 1 Early which I'll get to fit no problem just seemed strange that some 40 odd aluminium barrels they produced are no longer available.

Check the Aber website. There are 170 barrels listed; nine Tiger I barrels in total. Two are for Tiger I early:

35 L-076n for Dragon
35 L 178 For Rye Field Model

Thanks Joseph, I just found it odd that Hannants hadn't got a lot of the older barrels listed. They were always my go to for AM barrels and ebay was even harder to find anything from UK sellers there was of course sellers in the US and Australia but the postage was more than the price of the barrel so I was wondering if maybe sellers and vendors in the UK were struggling to get stock in with the current pandemic
