Just tried to order one from my distributor last week. 20 week lead time.

We are so lucky that the POCO here provides meter bases free, so we only need to supply panels.

Our poco will sell them to you, but they have been out of them for a long time. The engineer said they were having to go back to undeveloped subdivisions and pull the pad mounts to use elsewhere because they can’t get anymore.

Yeah, but he's $1300 more than my SH, if I want to wait 20 weeks. I really like the design of that Ronk. The aluminum cabinet makes it quite a bit lighter and it will never rust

The thing I didn’t like about it, the ground lugs are only good for #2, and they are packed in too tight to change to a bigger lug. Also the breaker cover is held closed by two screws, so in order to access the breaker handle, you have to remove the screws. The customer didn’t want to pay more, but he didn’t have 20 weeks to wait before he built and moved into the new warehouse.

I just looked at the spec sheet. It shows 2x 2 to 2/0 lugs for EGC. So one for the ground rod, and one for the ground conductor to the next panel. There's an additional 300kcmil out for the neutral.

The breaker door is secured with a standard locking tab, I don't see any screws.

The one I had, went up to only #2 for the EGC, I had to use a splicer/reducer to change to copper for the 1/0 EGC in the cable.
 
I was able to buy one 320 from my supply house 4 months ago for $550, twice what they were one year ago. Of course, now, they have no idea when they will get more in. Today, a had bit of luck. The REMC I was dealing with told me they have a few. (For $230, same price as a year ago here). But they won't sell them to elec contractors, only to their REMC members. So I called my customer and he gladly drove over and purchased one.
