Cocadori,
I understand what you are saying, but a smith doesn't always have the contour, twist, length etc... of the barrel you want. Yes he can order it for you, but you'll most likely wait about the same time to get it - it sucks but not much you can do when you're at the barrel manufacturer's mercy!!
This last barrel I ordered from Bartlein is a special order = its a Krieger #5 contour in a Bartlein .30 caliber, 1-11" twist barrel.
