Verney Carron now own the Hastings name and are producing Hastings barrels now.
Apparently they have always made barrels for Hastings, from the website...
"The old Hastings Co in Clay City, Kansas has closed. Verney-Carron, the manufacturer of the barrels sold under the brand name "Hastings" has purchased the Hastings name and trademark "Paradox". These barrels are the same quality product that made Hastings the premier replacement shotgun barrel.
They use the name Paradox for their fully rifled slug barrels. When Hastings closed their inventory was sold at auction by Old Town over a period of several months. Barrel's and blanks were very cheap, as were cartons of slugs.
